Did you know that 'Amazing Grace' had four verses?

[xt1me]

I didn't know that 'Amazing Grace' had four verses.

There's the first verse everyone knows, then the second verse only a few people know but always sing smugly when the rest mumble along. I could have guessed there was a third verse nobody knew but I didn't realise there were four verses.

Oh wait, I just looked it up and there are actually six verses.

Amazing Grace Lyrics

John Newton (1725-1807)

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.

T'was 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 that 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 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.

(though there's a version with a different last verse on Wikipedia)

Huh, fancy that.
