The Lord’s Promise 362

Tune: Miss Hattie Watson, 1907
Lyrics: John Newton, 1779
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
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 gace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first, believed!

Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace has bro’t 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 shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
