Amazing grace O how sweet the sound
That saved a poor sinner like me!
Tho' once I was lost, yet now I'm found;
Tho' I was blinded, now I see!
Thro' disappointment and danger, too,
Thro' labors and sorrows we've come!
But God's grace has guided safely thro',
And it will surely lead us home!
Then with the ransomed around God's throne,
We'll praise our Redeemer and King!
We'll tell how His mercy for sin did atone;
Thro' countless ages this song we'll sing:
Refrain
And it's all because of God's amazing grace!
Because on Calv'ry's mountain He took my place!
And someday, some glorious morning,
I shall see Him face to face,
All because of God's amazing grace!
