Written by: John Newton, Olney Hymns, 1779
D D7 G D
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
D A7
That sav'd a wretch like me!
D D7 G D
I once was lost, but now am found,
D A7 G D
Was blind, but now I see.
D D7 G D
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
D A7
And grace my fears reliev'd;
D D7 G D
How precious did that grace appear
D A7 G D
The hour I first believ'd!
D D7 G D
Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,
D A7
I have already come;
D D7 G D
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
D A7 G D
And grace will lead me home.
D D7 G D
When we've been here ten thousand years
D A7
Bright shining as the son;
D D7 G D
We've no less ways to sing God's praise,
D A7 G D
Then when we first begun.
D D7 G D
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
D A7
That sav'd a wretch like me!
D D7 G D
I once was lost, but now am found,
D A7 G D
Was blind, but now I see.
D D7 G D
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
D A7
His word my hope secures;
D D7 G D
He will my shield and portion be
D A7 D
As long as life endures.
D D7 G D
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
D D7 A7
And mortal life shall cease;
D G D
I shall possess, within the veil,
D A7 D
A life of joy and peace.
D G D
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
D A7
The sun forbear to shine;
D G D
But God, who call'd me here below,
D A7 D
Will be forever mine.
