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! |

The Lord hath promised good to me, 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. |

We are familiar with the hymn "Amazing Grace." Although this is a good hymn, it does not speak of the Triune God as our portion for our enjoyment. When this hymn was written, the experiential knowledge of God among the Lord's people had not come to this point. Even as recent as fifty years ago, Christians did not have the understanding of grace as the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. But standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we have come to know that grace is far more than merely unmerited favor. Grace is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—processed for our experience and enjoyment.

4. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall obsess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
6. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

I love this hymn just they way he originally wrote it.

Comfort and peace for my heart, mind, and spirit as I grieve the death of my husband Ken. This was the hymn he wanted for his funeral. We have amazing grace from God.

I sang this to my newborn in hopes of settling him down & it worked. He has been fussing all night so I called my mom & she told me this song always calmed me down so I tried it with him & he's calmed down and finally asleep!!
This is a really calming, thoughtful hymn! I really enjoy it!!!
This is my favorite hymn ever, because it soothes my spirit and makes my whole again!!
Slow the time down a little bit, otherwise it's great!!
