Amazing Grace - as originally written by John Newton

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 believed! 

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 vail, 
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.
