Amazing Grace

Melodie: trad., Text: John Newton (1779)

	D	D7	G	D	D7	A A7
Am	azing	grace, how	sweet the	sounds,that saved a	wretch like	me.

	D	D7	G	D	Hm	A	F	D
I	once was	lost, but	now I’m	found, was	blind but	now	I	see.

‘T was grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed.

Thro’s many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come,

‘Tis grace hath bro’t me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds, in a believers ear.

It sooths his sorrows, heals the wounds, and drives away his fear.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free?

No, there’s a cross for ev’ry one and there’s a cross for me.
