Amazing Grace

Songwriter/Composer/Translator John Newton

 G      G7         C         G
Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound
                         D
That saved a wretch like me!
  G        G7        C      G
I once was lost, but now am found,
    Em         D     G
Was blind, but now I see.

      G          G7        C        G
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
                     D
And grace my fears relieved.
    G        G7       C      G
How precious did that grace appear,
    Em     D       G
The hour I first believed.

      G      G7       C          G
Through many dangers, toils and snares
                D
We have already come
       G         G7         C          G
'Twas grace hath brought us safe thus far
     Em        D       G
And grace will lead us home
 
     G          G7        C        G
When we've been there ten thousand years,
                      D
Bright shining as the sun,
      G       G7      C          G
We've no less days to sing God's praise
     Em      D       G
Than when we first begun.

 G      G7         C         G
Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound
                         D
That saved a wretch like me!
  G        G7        C      G
I once was lost, but now am found,
    Em         D     G
Was blind, but now I see.
