Notes:
This unique and tender arrangement of Amazing Grace is perfect for high school and collegiate women’s choirs. Bondari’s arrangement showcases each of the voice parts on the main melody, culminating in a broad and soaring final verse. Interestingly, the fourth verse is John Newton’s original text and not the commonly substituted text, thereby ending on a positive, hopeful note.
Text:
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.
