G C G
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
G D
That saved a wretch like me! Verse 1:
G C G
I once was lost, but now am found
G D G
Was blind but now I see
G C G
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,
G D
And grace my fears relieved;
G C G
How precious did that grace appear
G D G
The hour I first believed.
Verse 3:
G C G
Through many dangers, toil and snares,
G D
I have already come;
G C G
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
G D G
And grace will lead me home.
Verse 4:
G C G
When we've been there ten thousand years
G D
Bright shining as the sun,
G C G
We've no less days to sing God's praise
G D G
Than when we've first begun
Verse 5:
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess, within the veil
A life of joy and peace
Verse 6:
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who call'd me here below
Will be forever mine
