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.´T was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did this grace apear
The hour I first believed.Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
`T is grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.And when we`ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
W´ll have no less days to sing God´s praise
Than when we first begun.
Amazing Grace, by John Newton (July 24, 1725 – December 21, 1807)
