Famous 18th Century Christian hymn written by Anglican clergyman John Newton. Well-known by Christians and non-Christians alike.
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I’m 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!
