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.

´twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved.
how precious did that grace appear
the hour i first believed.

through many dangers, toils and snares
i have already come;
´tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
and grace will lead me home.

the lord has promised good to me
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.

yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
i shall possess within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.

when we´ve been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun,
we´ve no less days to sing god´s praise
than when we´ve first begun.
