<td><em>Words:</em> <a href="./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_n_e_newton_j.html" target="_blank">John Newton</a>, <em>Olney Hymns</em> (London: W. Oliver, 1779). Exception: the last stanza is by an unknown author; it appeared as early as 1829 in <em>Baptist Songster</em>, by R. Winchell (Wethersfield, Connecticut), as the last stanza of the song “Jerusalem My Happy Home.”

<p>This is probably the most popular hymn in the English language—a television documentary was even made about it. Perhaps it is because its words so well describe the author: John Newton was a slave trader before coming to Christ.</td>

<p>Amazing grace! How sweet the sound<br>
|
|
That saved a wretch like me!<br>
|
|
I once was lost, but now am found;<br>
|
|
Was blind, but now I see.</p>
|
|
<p>’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,<br>
|
|
And grace my fears relieved;<br>
|
|
How precious did that grace appear<br>
|
|
The hour I first believed.</p>
|
|
<p>Through many dangers, toils and snares,<br>
|
|
I have already come;<br>
|
|
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,<br>
|
|
And grace will lead me home.</p>
|
|
<p>The Lord has promised good to me,<br>
|
|
His Word my hope secures;<br>
|
|
He will my Shield and Portion be,<br>
|
|
As long as life endures.</p>
|
|
<p>Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,<br>
|
|
And mortal life shall cease,<br>
|
|
I shall possess, within the veil,<br>
|
|
A life of joy and peace.</p>
|
|
<p>The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,<br>
|
|
The sun forbear to shine;<br>
|
|
But God, Who called me here below,<br>
|
|
Shall be forever mine.</p>
|
|
<p>When we’ve been there ten thousand years,<br>
|
|
Bright shining as the sun,<br>
|
|
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise<br>
|
|
Than when we’d first begun.</p>
