"Amazing Grace" lyrics - THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believ'd!

Thro' many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

The Lord has promis'd 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 veil
A life of joy and peace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below
Will be forever mine
