Amazing Grace
(source: "Rise Up Singing", Peter Blood and Annie Patterson, 1992.)
- 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.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
- And grace my fears relieved;
- How precious did that grace appear
- The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
- I have already come;
- 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
- And grace will lead me home.
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 first begun.
Amazing grace has set me free,
- To touch, to taste, to feel;
- The wonders of accepting love,
- Have made me whole and real.
