E E7 A7 E Amazing grace, how sweet the sound B7 That saved a wretch like me E E7 A E I once was lost, but now am found B7 E Was blind, but now I see E E7 A E 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear B7 And grace my fears relieved E E7 A E How precious did that grace appear B7 E The hour I first believed E E7 A E Through many dangers, toils and snares B7 We have already come E E7 A E 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far B7 E And grace will lead me home E E7 A E The Lord has promised good to me B7 His word my hope secures E E7 A E He will my shield and portion be B7 E As long as life endures E E7 A E When we've been here ten thousand years B7 Bright shining as the sun E E7 A E We've no less days to sing God's praise B7 E Than when we'd first begun [Repeat first verse]
