Songtext von Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That sav'd a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears reliev'd How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believ'd! Thro' many dangers, toils and snares We have already come 'Twas grace has brought me safe thus far And grace will lead us home The Lord has promis'd good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures Yes, 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 call'd me here below Will be forever mine
