G             B7                C              G
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,

                                   A7  D    D7
That saved a wretch like me.

  G             G7         C          G
I once was lost but now I'm found ,

         Em         D       G           D
Was blind but now I see.
 

           G               B7            C           G
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

                                  A7 D      D7
And grace my fears re..lived.

         G      G7               C            G
How precious did that grace appear,

       Em     D         G          D
The hour I first believed.

 

              G        B7           C             G
Through many dangers, toils and snares,

               A7     D       D7
I have already come.

         G                G7               C             G
'This grace hath brought me safe thus far ,

        Em           D            G             D
And grace will lead me home.

 

        G                B7          C       G
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

            A7       D    D7
In a believer's ear.

   G                 G7           C             G 
It soothes his sorrows, heals the wounds,

        Em       D           G           D
And drives away his fears.

 

         G        B7          C          G
Must Jesus bear the cross alone

                             A7 D      D7
And all the world go free?

       G             G7     C           G
No, there's a cross for everyone

        Em          D            G        D
and there's a cross for me

 

         G          B7              C                   G
When we've been there ten thousand years,
                             A7  D      D7
bright shining as the sun,
          G           G7        C                G
we've no less days to sing God's praise
        Em          D         G
than when we first begun.
