How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am founf, Was blind, but now I see. 2} 'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear, And Grace my fears relieved; How precious did that Grace appear, The hour I first believed. 3} Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; 'Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far, And Grace will lead me home. 4} 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. 5} In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear. Till a new object struck my sight, And stopped my wild career. 6} The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures, He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. 7} Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease. I shall possess within' the veil, A life of joy and peace. * BE THOU MY VISION * Words: From the Irish Translation: Mary Elizabeth Byrne (1880-1931) E B7 E Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; B7 A B7 Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art. A B A B Thou my best thought, by day or by night; C#m G#m A B7 E Walking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word. I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord. Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise; Thou mine inheretance, now and always. Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art. High King of heaven, my victory won; May I reach heaven’s joy’s, O bright heaven’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.ÿ< The grace notes that characterize traditional Irish music {altered no doubt, when rendered by an American} alleviate some of the somber quality of "Amazing Grace" and make the music more of a celebration of the spirit, consistent with the words. E.M.ÿq On his tombstone these words are inscribed : Once an infidel and libertine a servant of slaves in Africa, was by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the Faith he had long labored to destroy.
