Amazing Grace
words by John Newton and John P. Rees (v.5)

Verse 1:

G                   C         G
Amazing grace!  How sweet the sound -

                         D
That saved a wretch like me!

  G                  C      G
I once was lost, but now am found,

    Em         D    (C)  G
Was blind, but now I see.


Verse 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!

Verse 3:

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

Verse 4:

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Verse 5:

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'd first begun.
