Did you know that this song has 13 verses?AMAZING GRACE1. In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear, till a new object met my sight, and stopped my wild career.2. I saw One hanging on a tree, in agonies and blood; who fixed His lanquid eyes on me as near His cross I stood.3. Sure, never till my latest breath, can I forget that look; it seemed to charge me with His death, though not a word He spoke.4. My conscience felt and owned the guilt, and plunged me in despair; I saw my sins His blood had shed, and helped to nail Him there.5. Alas, I knew not what I did, but all my tears were vain; where could my trembling soul be hid, for I the Lord had slain!6. A second look He gave that said, I freely all forgive! The blood is for thy ransom paid, I died that, thou mayest live.7. 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.8. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!9. Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.10. The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures.11. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace.12. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine.13. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.
