the earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

the sun forbear to shine;

but god, who call'd me here below,

he will my shield and portion be,

as long as life endures.

yes, when this flesh a shall fail,

thro' many dangers, toils and snares,

i have already e;

'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

i once was lost, but now am found,

was blind, but now i see.

'twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

我曾迷途，而今知返。

盲眼今又得重见。

神之恩典　教我敬畏。

这个名字罢了……

词：johon (1725-1807)/j p rees(b 1859)

will be forever mine.

天赐恩典，如此甘甜。

我罪竟已得赦免。

and mortal life shall cease;

i shall possess, within the veil,

a life of joy and peace.

and grace will lead me home.

the lord has promis'd good to me,

his word my hope secures;

and grace my fears reliev'd;

how precious did that grace appear,

the hour i first believ'd!

曲：traditional ameri melody

amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)

that sav'd a wretch like me!
