Amazing Grace

Text:  John Newton 
Music:  from Virgina Harmony 
Tune:  New Britain  86.86
OHT Incipit:  

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 has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be;
As long as life endures.

Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far
And grace shall lead me home.

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.
