O what hope we have in Jesus!

Amazing GraceWords by John Newton 1779
Amazing Grace! How sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like me!I once was lost, but now am foundWas blind, but now I see.

'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,And Grace my fears relieved.How precious did that Grace appearThe hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snaresI have already come.'Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus farAnd Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.His Word my hope secures.He will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures.

When we've been there ten thousand yearsBright shining as the sun,We've no less days to sing God's praiseThan when we'd first begun.
