AMAZING GRACE

	Amazing grace! How sweet the sound!
	That saved a wretch like me!
	I once was lost but now I am found,
	Was blind but now I see.
	Was 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;
	This grace has 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.
	Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
	And mortal life shall cease;
	I shall possess, within the vail,
	A life of joy and peace.
	The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
	The sun forbear to shine;
	But God, who called me here below,
	Will be forever mine.
