GAmazing G7grace, how Csweet the Gsound,
That Gsaved a Emwretch like Dme!
I Gonce was G7lost but Cnow am Gfound,
Was Gblind but D7now I Gsee.
 
'Twas Ggrace that G7taught my Cheart to Gfear,
And Ggrace my Emfears re-Dlieved;
How Gprecious G7did that Cgrace ap-Gpear,
The Ghour I D7first be-Glieved!
 
Through Gmany G7dangers, Ctoils, and Gsnares,
I Ghave al-Emready Dcome;
'Tis Ggrace hath G7brought me Csafe thus Gfar,
And Ggrace will D7lead me Ghome.
 
The GLord has G7promised Cgood to Gme,
His Gword my Emhope se-Dcures;
He Gwill my G7shield and Cpor-tion Gbe,
As Glong as D7life en-Gdures.
 
When Gwe've been G7there ten Cthousand Gyears,
Bright Gshining Emas the Dsun,
We've Gno less G7days to Csing God's Gpraise,
Than Gwhen we'd D7first be-Ggun.
