Amazing Grace: Scottish traditional melody , arr. Robert Ramskill b. 1950

Amazing Grace

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 Through many dangers,
toils, and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me
safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

4 The Lord has promised good
to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion
be
As long as life endures.

5 And , when this heart and flesh
shall fail
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.

6 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.
