John Newton, 1725-1807.
Early American Melody.
AMAZING GRACE. C.M.
(FIRST VERSE)
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am faound, Was blind but now I see.
(SECOND VERSE)
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!
(THIRD VERSE)
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.
(FOURTH VERSE)
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 first begun.
Amen.
