Faith’s Review and Expectation (Amazing Grace)

1
 
1     AMAZING grace! (how sweet the sound!)
2         That sav’d a wretch like me!
3     I once was lost, but now am found;
4         Was blind, but now I see.
 
     2
 
5     ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
6         And grace my fears reliev’d;
7     How precious did that grace appear,
8         The hour I first believ’d!
 
     3
 
9     Thro’ many dangers, toils, and snares,
10       I have already come;
11   ’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
12       And grace will lead me home.
 
     4
 
13   The Lord has promis’d good to me,
14       His word my hope secures;
15   He will my shield and portion be,
16       As long as life endures.
 
     5
 
17   Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
18       And mortal life shall cease;
19   I shall possess, within the veil,
20       A life of joy and peace.
 
     6
 
21   This earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
22       The sun forbear to shine;
23   But God, who call’d me here below,
24       Will be for ever mine.
