. "Amazing Grace" is often played on bagpipes in services to honor the deceased. ]]"Amazing Grace"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That sav?d 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 reliev?d;How precious did that grace appear,The hour I first believ?d!Thro? many dangers, toils and snares,I have already come;?Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,And grace will lead me home.The Lord has promis?d 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,A life of joy and peace.The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,The sun forbear to shine;But God, who call?d me here below,Will be forever mine.John New­ton, Ol­ney Hymns (Lon­don: W. Ol­i­ver, 1779)"Amazing Grace" is a well-known Christian hymn.
