                             Amazing Grace.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound        T’was grace that taught my heart to fear,

I once was lost but now I’m found,                        How precious did that grace appear

was blind, but now I see.                          the hour I first believed.

Be still and know that I am God.               In thee, O Lord, I put my trust.

I am the Lord that healeth thee,

I am the Lord that healeth thee.
