Amazing grace

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.
'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 i have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
and grace will lead me home.
The lord has promised good to me
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease,
i shall possess within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
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've first begun.
