J. Newton (303/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

J. Newton 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. 2 ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! 3 Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. 5 And when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil A life of joy and peace. 6 When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’ve first begun.
