ON THIS SHEET: 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, · I have already come; · '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. — Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, · And mortal life shall cease, · I shall possess, within the veil, · A life of joy and peace. — 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'd first begun. — John Newton, 1779. LETTER SIZE: 1/4-inch. HANDWRITING: joined cursive. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only, Randomized Redacting.
