Amazing Grace. 1 Cor. 15. 10; Eph. 2. 1-8; Zech. 3. 2
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.
