Amazing Grace

 

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,

We have already come;

Twas grace that brought us safe thus far,

And grace will lead us 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.

 

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.


奇异恩典 (译文来自百度)
 

奇异恩典,何等甘甜,我罪已得赦免;前我失丧,今被寻回,瞎眼今得看见!

如此恩典,使我敬畏,使我心得安慰;初信之时,即蒙恩惠,真是何等宝贵!

许多危险,试炼网罗,我已安然度过;靠主恩典,安全不怕,更引导我归家!

将来禧年,圣徒欢聚,恩光爱谊千年;喜乐颂赞,在父座前,深望那日快现!


"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn published in 1779, with words written in 1772 by the English poet and Anglican clergyman John Newton (1725–1807).

Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction, but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by others' reactions to what they took as his recalcitrant insubordination.

He was pressed (conscripted) into service in the Royal Navy. After leaving the service, he became involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In 1748, a violent storm battered his vessel off the coast of County DonegalIreland, so severely that he called out to God for mercy. This moment marked his spiritual conversion but he continued slave trading until 1754 or 1755, when he ended his seafaring altogether. He began studying Christian theology and later became an abolitionist.

Ordained in the Church of England in 1764, Newton became curate of Olney, Buckinghamshire, where he began to write hymns with poet William Cowper. "Amazing Grace" was written to illustrate a sermon on New Year's Day of 1773. It is unknown if there was any music accompanying the verses; it may have been chanted by the congregation. It debuted in print in 1779 in Newton and Cowper's Olney Hymns but settled into relative obscurity in England. In the United States, "Amazing Grace" became a popular song used by Baptist and Methodist preachers as part of their evangelizing, especially in the South, during the Second Great Awakening of the early 19th century. It has been associated with more than 20 melodies. In 1835, American composer William Walker set it to the tune known as "New Britain" in a shape note format. This is the version most frequently sung today.

With the message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognisable songs in the English-speaking world. Author Gilbert Chase writes that it is "without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns".[1] Jonathan Aitken, a Newton biographer, estimates that the song is performed about 10 million times annually.[2]

It has had particular influence in folk music, and has become an emblematic black spiritual. Its universal message has been a significant factor in its crossover into secular music. "Amazing Grace" became newly popular during a revival of folk music in the US during the 1960s, and it has been recorded thousands of times during and since the 20th century.
