Óh, áldott ég! Óh, szép zeneszó!
Emeld fel a lelkem, hol szívek hangja szól!
Elveszett, óh, Istenem, most újból rám talál
a sötétség mélyén egy fénysugár.
Ha a léptem megfárad, s majd a szívem megáll,
ha a világ tovatűnik, és a Nap nem süt le rám,
Istenem, éneked szívekben szól tovább,
tízezer csillagon muzsikál, muzsikál.

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 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 hath 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 – ford.: Keresztes Barna)
