               Amazing Grace

 

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.

 

amazing: 놀라운

grace: 은혜

wretch: 가엾은 사람, 비참한 사람

lose: 잃다

blind: 눈 먼

 

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.

 

’twas: it was의 간략형.

fear: 두려워 하다

relieve: 경감하다, 해방하다

precious: 귀중한, 가치 있는

appear: 나타나다, ~로 보이다

believe: 믿다

 

3. Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead us home.

 

danger: 위험

toil: 수고, 고생

snare: , 함정

’tis: it is의 간략형

thus far: 여기 까지

 

4. 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’d first begun.

 

bright: 빛나는, 화창한, 밝은

shine: 빛나다, 비추다

no less: ~ 보다 적지 않은

praise: 찬양

begin, began, begun: 시작하다
