The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#53

53. How it Saves Even Me

1 Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound
That sav’d a wretch like me,
I once was lost but not am found
Was blind but now I see.

Refrain:
Wonderful grace! how it saves even me!
Even me, even me;
Wonderful grace! how it saves even me!
How it saves even me.

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. [Refrain]

3 Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home. [Refrain]

4 The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures. [Refrain]

5 Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace. [Refrain]
