That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found,
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares 'Tis Grace has brought me safe thus far And Grace will lead me home
The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures; He will my sheild and portion be,
Yet, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall posess within the veil,
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've first begun
