John Newton 1779

*

 E MajorE         A augmentedA     E MajorE
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
             B7B7
That saved a wretch like me.
 E MajorE         A augmentedA   E MajorE
I once was lost but now am found,
        B7B7  E MajorE
Was blind, but now I see.

E MajorE             A augmentedA    E MajorE
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
           B7B7
And Grace, my fears relieved.
  E MajorE         A augmentedA    E MajorE
How precious did that Grace appear
      B7B7   E MajorE
The hour I first believed.

E MajorE           A augmentedA     E MajorE
Through many dangers, toils and snares
        B7B7
I have already come;
   E MajorE           A augmentedA     E MajorE
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
        B7B7   E MajorE
and Grace will lead me home.

  E MajorE         A augmentedA    E MajorE
The Lord has promised good to me.
          B7B7
His word my hope secures.
  E MajorE         A augmentedA    E MajorE
He will my shield and portion be,
      B7B7   E MajorE
As long as life endures.

E MajorE            A augmentedA      E MajorE
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
           B7B7
And mortal life shall cease,
 E MajorE         A augmentedA   E MajorE
I shall possess within the veil,
     B7B7   E MajorE
A augmentedA life of joy and peace.

E MajorE            A augmentedA    E MajorE
When we've been here ten thousand years
           B7B7
Bright shining as the sun.
E MajorE           A augmentedA     E MajorE
We've no less days to sing God's praise
        B7B7   E MajorE
Than when we've first begun.
