The Psalms of David ‎#H22.II

H22.II. Life everlating

6 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.

7 '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!

8 Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

9 The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

10 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.

11 There joys unseen by mortal eyes
Or reason's feeble ray,
In ever blooming prospects rise,
Unconscious of decay.

12 Then now, on faith's sumblimest wing,
Let ardent wishes rise
To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring,
Immortal in the skies
