Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Amazing grace My Chains are gone How sweet the sound That saved 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 relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed

My chains are gone - I’ve been set free My God, my Saviour has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy rains Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But God, Who called me here below Will be forever mine

Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.

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.

When we’ve been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’ve first begun.
