Lyrics

Amazing Grace (How sweet the sound)

That sav'd 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 reliev'd;


How precious did that grace appear,


The hour I first believ'd!


Thro' many dangers, toils and snare,


I have already come;


'Tis grace has 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.



Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease;


I shall profess, within the vail,


A life of joy and peace.



The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,


The sun forbear to shine;


But God, who call'd me here below,


Will be forever mine.

Listen to a sample of Amazing Grace performed by the Cambridge Singers (directed by John Rutter)
