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,
The hour I first believed.
We have already come
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun;
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
