John Newton 1779

 E                 A         EAmazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
                         B7That saved a wretch like me.
  E                 A      EI once was lost but now am found,
               B7    EWas blind, but now I see.

E                          A        ET'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
                      B7And Grace, my fears relieved.
    E                 A       EHow precious did that Grace appear
           B7      EThe hour I first believed.

E                     A         EThrough many dangers, toils and snares
               B7I have already come;
     E                     A         E'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
               B7      Eand Grace will lead me home.

    E                 A       EThe Lord has promised good to me.
                   B7His word my hope secures.
   E                  A       EHe will my shield and portion be,
           B7     EAs long as life endures.

E                        A           EYea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
                      B7And mortal life shall cease,
  E                 A      E      I shall possess within the veil,
          B7      EA life of joy and peace.

E                        A        EWhen we've been here ten thousand years
                      B7Bright shining as the sun.
E                     A          EWe've no less days to sing God's praise
                B7      EThan when we've first begun.
