стихи Джона Ньютона (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.

'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, toils and snares,
I have [bad word] this grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
the sun forbear to shine
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine
