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…..
