Hymn using same tune:

#1143

 

 1  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  The Lord hath promised good to me,

       His word my hope secures;

    He will my shield and portion be

       As long as life endures.

 

 4  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.
