"Amazing Grace" (Hymn by John Newton) (All are invited to join in)

1. 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.

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 has 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,

Tis no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we first begun.

Note: We in AHSGR are immensely grateful to the Deutschendorf family members of Kansas and

Oklahoma for their cooperation and participation. Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. (John Denver)

was a talented singer, songwriter, actor, and international performer. But be also was a son of the

Great American Plains and a proud descendant of the Germans from Russia. We mourn his loss and

we extend our heartfelt sympathy to all his relatives and friends.
