A-mazing Grace how sweet the sound   
                         A/D  
that saved a wretch like me   
   D       D/F#     G         D  
I once was lost but now I am found

Was blind but now I see    (Chorus)  


       D                    G/D      D  
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear  
                         A/D  
And grace my fears re-lieved  
     D         D/F#     G        D  
How pre-cious did that Grace ap-pear

The hour I first be-lieved. (Chorus)

My chains are gone, I’ve been set free!

My God, my Savior, has ran-somed me,

And like a flood His mer-cy reigns.

Un-ending love, / A-maz-ing Grace.//

The Lord has pro-mised good to me,  
                      A/D  
His word my hope se-cures.  
     D      D/F#       G      D  
He will my shield and por-tion be  
             A/D    D  
As long as life en-dures.    

(Chorus)  


      D                G/D           D  
The earth shall soon dis-solve like snow,  
                     A/D  
The sun for-bear to shine,  
     D       D/F#     G      D  
But God, who called me here be-low,  
     D      A/D  
Will be for-ev-er mine,     
     D      A/D  
Will be for-ev-er mine.     
     D      A/D  
You are for-ev-er mine   (Chorus)
