Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how great the love,
that saved a soul like me!
I once was blind, but now I see,
was bound but now am free!
'Twas grace that taught my heart to love,
and grace God’s love receive;
How precious does that grace appear
to my soul from fear relieved.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
'Tis grace that leads me to the good,
God’s truth my life secures;
God’s perfect will my standard be,
as long as life endures.
And when we arrive on Paradise
and eternal life is won,
We’ve no less time to sing God’s praise
than when we’d first begun.
“The world needs more firsthand religion. Even Christianity—the best of the religions of the twentieth century—is not only a religion about Jesus, but it is so largely one which men experience secondhand.” (UB 195:9.8)
