Hymn
Amazing Grace
Words: Paice, Henry
1
Ah! but for free and sovereign grace, I still had lived estranged from God, Till hell had proved the destined place Of my deserved but dread abode.
2
But O, amazed, I see the hand That stopped me in my wild career; A miracle of grace I stand; The Lord has taught my heart to fear.
3
To fear his name, to trust his grace, To learn his will be my employ; Till I shall see him face to face, Himself my heaven, himself my joy.
