おどろくばかりの めぐみなりき

おどろくばかりの

めぐみなりき

この身のけがれを

知れるわれに

めぐみはわが身の

おそれを消し

まかする心を

おこさせたり

危険をもわなをも

避けえたるは

めぐみのみわざと

言うほかなし

御国(みくに)につく朝

いよよ高く

めぐみのみ神を

たたえまつらん

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost but now I 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 has brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

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've first begun.

聖書・エペソ２：８−９「あなたがたは、恵みのゆえに、信仰によって救われたのです。それは、自分自身から出たことではなく、神からの賜物です。行いによるのではありません。だれも誇ることのないためです。」

Ephesians 2:8、”For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
