Amazing Grace 9

Lyrics: John Newton
Tune: Trad. Arr. D. H. Mansfield / T. Erikson
Meter: C.M. (8.6.8.6)

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.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.

Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
