Amazing Grace
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
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
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Tis Grace has brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home
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
Was blind but now I see

Other verses of Newton's original lyrics:
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures
Yet, 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 called me here below,
Will forever mine
Written by John Newton circa 1800

Remember, do not let the words you sing to celebrate life divide
and separate you from those who are singing different words.
