英语歌曲：amazing grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch¹ like me...
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was 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, toils² and snares³...
We have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
And Grace will lead us home.

When we've been here a thousand years...
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
Than when we've first begun.

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.
