Hymn number 423

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.

2

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

3

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come:
’Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

4

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

5

Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.

6

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be for ever mine.
