words by John Newton (1725-1807)
music by American Folk Tune (ca. 1829)

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!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

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.

奇异恩典，何等甘甜，
我罪巳得赦免；
前我失丧，今被寻回，
瞎眼今得看见。

如此恩典，使我敬畏，
使我心得安慰；
初信之时，即蒙恩惠，
真是何等宝贵！

许多危险，试炼网罗，
我巳安然经过；
靠主恩典，安全不怕，
更引导我归家。

将来禧年，圣徒欢聚，
恩光爱谊千年；
喜乐颂赞，在父座前，
深望那日快现。
