Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnbook #275 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace—how sweet the sound—
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
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!
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
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.
Amen. Topics: Forgiveness; God Grace; God Strength and Refuge; Life in Christ Repentance and Forgiveness Scripture: Exodus 34:6 Tune Title: ARLINGTON
