Amazing Grace From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Amazing Grace" is a well-known Christian hymn. The words were written late in 1772 by Englishman John Newton. They first appeared in print in Newton's Olney Hymns (1779), which he worked on with William Cowper.

History John Newton wrote this hymn some time after converting to Christianity in the village of Kineton, in Warwickshire, England. The lyrics are based on his reflections on an Old Testament text he was preparing to preach on, adding his perspective about his own conversion while on his slave ship, the Greyhound, in 1748.

Newton's lyrics have become a favorite for Christians, largely because the hymn vividly and briefly sums up the doctrine of divine grace. The lyrics are based on 1 Chronicles 17:16-17 (http://php.ug.cs.usyd.edu.au/~jnot4610/bibref.php?book=1%20Chronicles&verse=17:16-17&src=NRSV), a prayer of King David in which he marvels at God's choosing him and his house. Newton apparently wrote this for use in a sermon he preached on this passage on New Year's Day 1773, and for which he left his sermon notes, which correspond to the flow of the lyrics[1]. (He entitled the piece "Faith's review and expectation.")

The song has also become known as a favorite with supporters of freedom and human rights, both Christian and non-Christian, in part because many assume it to be his testimony about his slave trading past.

"Amazing Grace"

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That sav’d 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 hymn was quite popular on both sides in the American Civil War.

In recent years, this song has also become popular in America with drug and alcohol recovery groups, particularly Christian ones, at celebrations of how they "once were lost, but now are found."

Extra verses

In her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe includes an extra, final verse which may have been taken from another hymn:

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.

This additional verse is credited by some to John P. Rees (1828-1900)[2] and became firmly established as part of the hymn from the early twentienth century, appearing in many hymnal

Cherokee lyrics

While on the "Trail of Tears," the Cherokee were not always able to give their dead a full burial. Instead, they sang a translation (or rather, paraphrase) previously made by Samuel Worcester.[3] For this reason, many contemporary Native American musicians have recorded the song.

Music As with other hymns of this period, the words were sung to a number of tunes before and after they first became linked to the now familiar variant of the tune "New Britain" of which the composer is unknown and is in William Walker's shape-note tunebook Southern Harmony, 1835.[4]

"New Britain" first appears in a shape note hymnal from 1829 called Columbian Harmony. The melody is believed to be Scottish or Irish in origin; it is pentatonic and suggests a bagpipe tune; the hymn is frequently performed on bagpipes and has become associated with that instrument. This tune seems to have been firmly established as the 'standard' for this hymn after an arrangement of it appeared in a series of popular hymnbooks in the early twentieth century. (See also the versions in the Sacred Harp article.)

Another tune to which it has sometimes been sung is the so-called "Old Regular Baptist" tune. It was sung by the Congregation of the Little Zion Church, Jeff, Kentucky, on the album The Ritchie Family of Kentucky on the Folkways

The hour I first believ’d!

Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace has 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.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease; I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who call’d me here below, Will be forever mine.

John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

Shape Note version from

1835.

label (1958).

The Blind Boys of Alabama have also helped to popularise a long-standing association to the tune House of the Rising Sun.[5]

Bagpipes

The association with bagpipes is relatively modern; for over a century, the tune was nearly forgotten in the British Isles until the folk revival of the 1960s began carrying traditional musicians back and forth between the British Isles and the United States (where "Amazing Grace" had remained a very popular hymn). It was little known outside church congregations or folk festivals until Arthur Penn's film Alice's Restaurant (1969), in which Lee Hays of The Weavers leads worshipers in singing "Amazing Grace."

Performances and recordings Owing to its ability to be adapted easily, the song is a popular recording choice. In essence, it has a very basic tune. Singers can then very easily add melismatic phrases, and alter the melody to make it match their own style/genre of singing. It has been recorded by many artists over the last century; All Music Guide lists over 1800 recordings.[6]

� Between 1970 and 1972, a version by Judy Collins spent 67 weeks in the UK Singles Chart, a record for a female artist, and peaked at number five.[7]

� In 1972, an instrumental version by the Pipes and Drums and Military Band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards spent five weeks at number one in the UK Singles Chart; it also reached the top spot in Australia.

� Christian metal pioneers Stryper also recorded a version of this song titled 10,000 Years on their 2005 comeback album Reborn. The Christian alternative rock band The Almost recorded a version entitled "Amazing Because It Is" on their album Southern Weather.

� The Italian one-man band Il Guardiano del Faro recorded an instrumental version in 1972, played on the Moog synthesizer that was very trendy at the time. It was titled Il Gabbiano Infelice (The Unhappy Seagull).

� Aretha Franklin recorded a notable version of the song nearly fifteen minutes in length on her live gospel album of the same name. � Rod Stewart and The Faces performed it live in their 1972-73 world tour. � The Australian singer Kylie Minogue performed this song as the final encore of her Let's Get To It Tour. � Dropkick Murphys recorded this song for their The Gang's All Here cd in 1999. � New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra recorded a shortened version for her 2003 debut album Pure. � Diamanda Galás recorded it in her "Vena Cava" album. Like all other tracks, it's not listed. � Todd Agnew released the song Grace Like Rain in 2004, a rock version of Amazing Grace with an added chorus. � Chris Tomlin recorded a version of the song on his 2006 album "See The Morning" that includes a different chorus and only some of the original

verses. � Darius Rucker lead singer for Hootie & the Blowfish recorded this song on his solo project Back To Then. � The Dirty Dozen Brass Band included a short instrumental interpretation of this song on their 2004 album Funeral For a Friend. � Phish has performed the song several times live, typically acapella � Victor Wooten performs the song on his electric bass, noted for tuning his bass to the final pitches instead of playing them on the fretboard. � Chris Squire recorded a version on his bass guitar, and can be heard on the expanded version of the Yes album "Going for the One", and the box set

drums played Amazing Grace as they entered Basra in 2003. � Sufjan Stevens recorded a version on Disc 1: Noel [2001] Vol. 1 of his 2006 box set, "Songs for Christmas."

It has also been used in cultures beyond its Western origin:

� Native American flautist Jay Red Eagle has recorded it. � In Asia, Cantopop singer Joey Yung borrowed the tune for a version named "Tomorrow's Grace". � Also in Asia, the group Nirgilis used the first verse of the hymn in the background of their song "Sakura," one of the opening themes to the anime
