Amazing grace and amazing things about it, according to John Newton. It
- Saves wretches - that saved a wretch like me!
- Brings back the lost - I once was lost, but now am found,
- Heals the blind - was blind, but now I see.
- Brings about conviction of sin - 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
- Comforts us - and grace my fears relieved;
- Sustains us - Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come: 'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
- Brings us to heaven - and grace will lead me home.
- Is revealed in the Word - his word my hope secures;
- Is guaranteed by God - he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures
- Secures heaven for us - Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease: I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine; but God, who called me here below, will be forever mine
