誰でも一度はメロディを聞いたことがあるのではないでしょうか？
この歌は、この歌の作者であるジョン=ニュートンが、救いようのない罪の中から
引き上げてくれた神の恵みを歌った歌です。
作詞 John Newton
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
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace
The world shall soon to ruin go,
The sun refuse to shine
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine
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 first begun
