Text: | Amazing Grace! How Sweet the Sound |
Author: | John Newton |
Tune: | ARLINGTON |
Composer: | Thomas A. Arne |
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,
When first my soul believed!
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
3. Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
Amen.
