Hymn – Amazing Grace   (Elvis Presley  (1972) )

{ lyrics: John Newton (1772) }

Key: G, bpm: 70

G             G7               C             G                                             D D7

Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, & grace my fears relieved;

Thro’ many dangers toils and snares, I have already come;

The Lord has promised good to me, his Word my hope secures;

And when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease,

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

bright shining as the sun,

   G                G7    C            G               Em          D7      C  G

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.

How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!

‘tis grace has brought me safe thus far, & grace will lead me home.

He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.

I shall possess within the veil a life of joy and peace.

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,

than when we’ve first begun.
