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.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.



Words By John Newton 1779
