Amazing Grace

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

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear

And Grace my fears relieved

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed

When we’ve been there…ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun

We have no less days…to receive God’s praise

Than when we first begun

Through many dangers…toils and snares

I have already come

‘Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far

And Grace will lead me home

Far away I’ve roamed…Far away from home

Far away…from my kin…folk and home

And I hear…Far away…the pipes do play

And I know I will be going home

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

Was blind…but now I…see…..

Amazing Grace:
