Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
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
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
Was blind but now I see

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
’Twas 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 hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
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
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine
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’d first begun

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
I was blind, but now I see.
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relived.
How precious did that grace appear
The hours I first believed.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
I was blind, but now I see.
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relived.
How precious did that grace appear
The hours I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
That when we first begun.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
I was blind, but now I see.
