Lyrics
Amazing Grace, so sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now i'm found
Was blind but now I see.
Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
and Grace my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers toils and snares
We have already come
Twas Grace that that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
Amazing Grace so sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see.
