Lyrics

  1. 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 hath brought me safe thus far,

    And grace will lead me home.
