576. Amazing Grace

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

3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

4 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.
