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 that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me, this word my hope secures; God will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 5 When we've been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we'd first begun.

O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry: Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n; He meets our eyes! Savior, teach us so to rise. Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE
