English Version
- 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 that brought me safe this far
And grace will lead me home.
- Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail
A life of joy and peace.
Amen.
