Amazing grace
John Newton, 1779. To be sung to New Britain.
1
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.
2
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!
3
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.
4
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures.
