Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Today on Thanksgiving day, my baby would have been born. All I could think to do was stop by the mission sit in the garden and sing this hymn. Glad I did, I know my baby Grace was looking down at her mommy and daddy from heaven seeing how much we love her.
Oh God please bring me peace.

My mother passed in 2001, but I'll always remember the last words from her. She was restless and liked me to sit with her so she could sleep. So I would quietly sing to her. I asked if I should sing Amazing Grace. Instead of answering, she sang the song. And slept solidly all night long after this. These were the last words from her - Mom singing Amazing Grace.
God's grace covered me in all my endeavors
Very beautiful thank you so much.

Amazing is His Grace.

I sang this to my great grandma during her last moments with me.
West Fork, AR, United States
I sang this song to my sons when they were little a lot of times before bedtime and no matter how much energy and agitation they seemed to have they would always calm down and focus on the words and be in total peace after the song. I praise my Jesus for His salvation and peace.
Tucson, AZ, United States
This song was sang at my grandma's funeral so I cried while listening.

What version is this third verse? At Canldler School of Theology they own a first edition of the text. The correct third verse is as follows (and it is my favorite verse) : Through many dangerous toils and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
They need to make it much longer. WAY TOO FAST.
