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. |

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! |

The Lord hath promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. |

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 first begun. |

We are familiar with the hymn "Amazing Grace." Although this is a good hymn, it does not speak of the Triune God as our portion for our enjoyment. When this hymn was written, the experiential knowledge of God among the Lord's people had not come to this point. Even as recent as fifty years ago, Christians did not have the understanding of grace as the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. But standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we have come to know that grace is far more than merely unmerited favor. Grace is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—processed for our experience and enjoyment.

Amazing is His Grace.

I sang this to my great grandma during her last moments with me.
West Fork, AR, United States
I sang this song to my sons when they were little a lot of times before bedtime and no matter how much energy and agitation they seemed to have they would always calm down and focus on the words and be in total peace after the song. I praise my Jesus for His salvation and peace.

This song was sang at my grandma's funeral so I cried while listening.

What version is this third verse? At Canldler School of Theology they own a first edition of the text. The correct third verse is as follows (and it is my favorite verse) : Through many dangerous toils and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

They need to make it much longer. WAY TOO FAST.
St.Peter, Missouri, Philippines
I love this site but the music of the song is way to fast and it should need more not only 30 seconds it should be longer. I love all of the song so much. All in all it’s perfect. Thanks for making this site.
