Holy Music of Joseph Seed

Куплет 1: 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. Куплет 2: 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Куплет 3: Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. Куплет 4: The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Куплет 5: 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. Куплет 6: The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. Куплет 7: When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun.
