Amazing Grace Lyrics - Entombed

[Written by John Newton 1725-1807] 

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. 

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, 

And grace my fears relieved. 

How precious did that grace appear 

The hour I first believed. 

Through many dangers, toils and snares 

I have already come; 

'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far 

And grace will lead me home. 

The Lord has promised good to me 

His word my hope secures; 

He will my shield and portion be, 

As long as life endures. 

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, 

and mortal life shall cease, 

I shall possess within the veil, 

A life of joy and peace. 

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've first begun.
