Amazing grace, how sweet the sound 
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear 
And grace my fear relieved 
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares 
We have already come 
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far 
And grace will lead us home
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 first begun
