by John Newton · by St. John Rees

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 108.

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.

Verse 3

The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures; he will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.

Verse 4

Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; ’tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

Verse 5

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.
