Lyrics

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now can see

It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace that fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Nearer to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Nearer to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Praise his Holy Name
Praise his Holy Name
Praise his Holy Name

Amazing grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

Amen
Amen

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
