AMAZING GRACE Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm 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

My chains are gone I've been set free My God my Saviour has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love amazing grace

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

My chains are gone I've been set free My God my Saviour has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love amazing grace

My chains are gone I've been set free My God my Saviour has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love amazing grace CCLI Licence #
