Amazing Grace
Traditional
arr. Keith McCutchen (b. 1964)
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.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
‘Twas grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me on.
When we've been here ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we've first begun.
— John Newton (b. 1725-1807) and William Cowper (1731-1800)
“Amazing Grace” was performed by the Houston Chamber Choir, accompanied by pianist Andreea Muţ, and conducted by guest conductor Anton Armstrong at the 2015-2016 season's “Ya Gotta Believe.”
