Amazing Grace

##

John Newton

  D                G         D
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
                         A7
That saved a wretch like me
  D        D7       G      D
I once was lost but now am found
              A7         D
Was blind but now   I    see

  D                        G        D
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
                      A7
And grace my fears relieved
    D        D7       G        D
How precious did that grace appear
            A7      D
The hour I first believed

  D                   G       D
The Lord has promised good to me
                    A7
His Word my hope secures
   D        D7        G       D
He will my shield and portion be
            A      D
As long as life endures

  D                   G          D
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
                A7
I have already come
     D           D7        G         D
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
               A7       D
And grace will lead me home

  D                      G           D
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
                       A7
And mortal life shall cease
   D        D7     G        D
I shall possess within the veil
           A7      D
A life of joy and peace

  D                       G        D
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
                      A7
Bright shining as the sun
      D        D7     G          D
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
                A7      D
Than when we’d first begun
