(Джон Ньютон 1779)«О, благодать», всемирно известный под своим (исполнитель: Amazing Grace- Изумительная Благодать)
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, We have [bad word] ’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. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine.
