Original lyrics of "Amazing Grace"
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
T'was grace that taught
my heart to fear< /p>
and grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed
Through many dangers toils and snares< /p>
we have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
and grace will lead us home
and grace will lead us home
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
was blind but now I see
