Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
C Am G7
C C7 F C And mortal life shall cease,
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, C C7 F C
C Am G7 I shall possess within the veil,
That saved a wretch like me. Am G7 C
C C7 F C A life of joy and peace.
I once was lost but now am found,
Am G7 C C C7 F C
Was blind, but now I see. When we've been here ten thousand years
C Am G7
C C7 F C Bright shining as the sun.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. C C7 F C
C Am G7 We've no less days to sing God's praise
And Grace, my fears relieved. Am G7 C
C C7 F C Than when we've first begun.
How precious did that Grace appear
Am G7 C
The hour I first believed.

C C7 F C
Through many dangers, toils and snares
C Am G7
I have already come;
C C7 F C
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
Am G7 C
and Grace will lead me home.

C C7 F C
The Lord has promised good to me.
C Am G7
His word my hope secures.
C C7 F C
He will my shield and portion be,
Am G7 C
As long as life endures.
