Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
that saved and strengthened me,
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see,
was blind but now I see,
was blind but now I see,
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures,
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures,
as long as life endures,
as long as life endures,
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come,
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home,
and grace will lead me home,
and grace will lead me home,
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
When we've been there 10,000 years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise,
than when we first begun,
than when we first begun,
than when we first begun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise,
than when we first begun!
Fountain of Grace was sang by the Hopeful Gospel Quartet on the
