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.
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!
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
3
The Lord hath promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

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.
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.

@ERIC - those were not written by Newton. The stanza's you are referring to were added later, and is believed to come from a different hymn called “Jerusalem, My Happy Home” (from the 18th century), or perhaps from a 19th-century American adaptation.

These are not the full lyrics
it's missing the most emotional part of the song the part that talks about what is going to happen to all of us death and the fact that this life we have is only temporary this is important because all sin is based on temporary lies and gratification
this is what I'm talking about these verses
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.
Verse 6
The earth shall soon
Dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me
Here below,
Will be forever mine.

Love this song! I was in a bad way health wise after heart various hear procedures. At the time I was not close to God although I have always believed. As I sat at home looking out my window recuperating, I asked God for a sign that he was listening to my prayers , as I looked at the tree outside my window, I saw in the leaves the brightest white dove formed by the sunlight and the leaves . He answered me on more than one occasion ! Praise the Lord and keep the faith no matter what comes your way, God bless you all !!

To God be the Glory. The song written centuries ago still speaks to everyone who has ever felt the grace of the Lord.
