Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #206 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Failings and Frailties First Line: Amazing grace! How sweet the sound Lyrics: 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,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that 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. Languages: English Tune Title: AMAZING GRACE
