10. Amazing Grace

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.

Refrain:
Grace so free and boundless,
Broad as eternity;
Grace so wonderful, rich, and free,
Grace, amazing grace.

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! [Refrain]

3 Thro’ many dangers, toil, and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath bro’t me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
