AMAZING GRACE

JOHN NEWTON, OLNEY HYMNS (LONDON: W. OLIVER, 1779)

AMAZING GRACE! (HOW SWEET THE SOUND)
THAT SAV'D A WRETCH LIKE ME!
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND,
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.

'TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEV'D;
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR,
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEV'D!
