Amazing Grace
Hayley Westenra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found;
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fear relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far,
And grace will lead us home.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
The song Amazing Grace is a Christian hymn that describes the power of God's grace to save sinners. In the first verse, the song speaks about the sweetness of the sound of grace that saved a wretch like the singer. The singer was lost before but now has been found, and blind but now can see. The second verse talks about how grace taught the singer to fear god and then relieved that fear, making it appear so precious the hour the singer first believed. The third verse recognizes that many dangers, toils, and snares have come the singer's way, but God's grace has brought them safe thus far, and it will continue to lead them home. In the final verse, the singer envisions ten thousand years of singing God's praise, and there will be no less praise to sing than when the signer first began.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Grace is something amazing that sounds sweet
That saved a wretch like me.
Grace saved me, even though I was a wretch
I once was lost, but now I'm found;
I was lost before, but now I'm found thanks to grace
Was blind, but now I see.
I couldn't see before, but now I can see thanks to grace
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,
Grace made me realize what I should be afraid of
And grace my fear relieved;
Grace helped me get rid of my fear
How precious did that grace appear
Grace is extremely valuable
The hour I first believed.
The moment I started believing, grace became precious to me
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
We've been through a lot of danger and difficulties
We have already come.
We've made progress despite the difficulties
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far,
Grace has kept us safe despite the danger and difficulties
And grace will lead us home.
Grace will continue to guide us home, safely
When we've been here ten thousand years
Even after ten thousand years in this world
Bright shining as the sun.
As bright as the shining sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
We'll still be praising God just as much as we were on the first day
Than when we've first begun.
No matter how much time has passed, we'll still be praising God just as much as we were on the first day

Amazing Grace in German
Erstaunliche Gnade wie süß dieser Klang
der mich kleines Wesen rettete
Einst war ich verloren, aber jetzt bin ich gefunden
War blind, aber jetzt sehe ich.
Es war Gnade das mein Herz lehrte zu fürchten
und Gnade entlastete meine Ängste
Wie kostbar diese Gnade erschien
In der Stunde, in der ich begann zu glauben.
Durch viele Gefahren, Qualen und Fallen,
bin ich schon gekommen
Diese Gnade hat mich sicher so weit gebracht
Und Gnade wird mich nach Hause führen.
Gott hat mir Gutes versprochen
Sein Wort stärkt meine Hoffnung
Er wir mein Schild und Anteil sein
So lang das Leben dauert
Ja, wenn dieses Fleisch und Herz scheitern
Und sterbliches Leben endet
Werde ich unter dem Schleier
ein Leben der Freude und des Friedens erreichen.
Und wenn wir zehntausend Jahre da waren,
Heller scheinend als die Sonne,
Werden wir nicht weniger Tage haben, die Preisungen Gottes zu singen...
Happy Weekend 🐧

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
T'was 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 that brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun
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
