Amazing grace How sweet the sound Amazing love Now flowing down From hands and feet That were nailed To the tree Grace flows down And covers me It covers me It covers me It covers me And covers me

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 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed
