Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
't was grace that tught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Tho's many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In an believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows, heals the wounds
And drives away his fear
Mus Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for ev'ry one
And there's a cross for me.
