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.
T’was grace that taught…
my heart to fear.
And grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear…
the hour I first believed.
The Lord has promised good to me…
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be…
as long as life endures
Through many dangers, toils and snares…
I have already come.
T’was grace that brought me safe thus far…
and grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years…
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise…
then when we’ve first begun.
John Newton
My Gramma loved this song…brought a heartfelt tear to my eye.
I know what you mean. My Grandma hummed hymns all the time, and memories of her are very dear to my heart too. Have a blessed Sunday! :)
A fabulous song, amen!
This song and its beautiful melody never grow old!
Amen!
One of my favorite hymns! Love the photo. :)
Always brings a tear – in a good way.
