Amazing Grace
Words: John Newton
Music:
"New Britain" by James P. Carrell and David S. Clayton
Eph
2:8
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.
The Lord has
promised good to me,
His Word my
hope secures;
He will my
Shield and Portion be,
As long as
life endures.
Yea, when
this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal
life shall cease,
I shall
possess, within the veil,
A life of
joy and peace.
The earth
shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun
forbear to shine;
But God, Who
called me here below,
Shall be
forever mine.
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'd first begun.
