Amazing Grace

John Newton 1772

in D

A-Dmaz-ing D7Grace, how Gsweet the Dsound,
That Dsaved a Bmwretch like Ame. A7
I Donce was D7lost, but Gnow I'm Dfound,
Was Dblind, but A7now I Dsee.

'Twas Dgrace that D7taught my Gheart to Dfear,
And Dgrace my Bmfears re-Alieved. A7
How Dprecious D7did that Ggrace a-Dppear,
The Dhour I A7first be-Dlieved.

Through Dmany D7dangers, Gtoils and Dsnares,
I Dhave al-Bmready Acome, A7
'Tis Dgrace has D7brought me Gsafe thus Dfar,
And Dgrace will A7lead me Dhome.

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 Dwe've been D7there ten Gthousand Dyears,
Bright Dshining as the Asun, A7
We've Dno less D7days to Gsing God's Dpraise,
Than Dwhen we're A7first be-Dgun.
