===Words===
----<pre>Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)That saved a wretch like meI once was lost, but now am foundWas blind but now I see
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
'''Overviews'''Through many dangers, toils and snares* [[About the song Amazing Grace]]I have already overcomeIt was grace that led me safe thus farAnd grace will bring me home
When we've been there a thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
</pre>
