Text:

Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Then when, when we’ve first begun

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
To save a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
Was blind, but now I see

If I have wounded any soul today
If I have caused one’s foot to go astray
If I have walked in my own willful way
Dear Lord, forgive

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee
Forgive my secret sins I do not see
Oh guide, watch over me and my keeper be
Dear Lord, Amen
