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 "Amazing Grace"
(http://php.ug.cs.usyd.edu.au/~jnot4610/bibref.php?book=1%

Extra verses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazing_Grace 3/6/2008
In her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher

Stowe includes an extra, final verse which may have
been taken from another hymn: Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
When we’ve been there ten thousand years, I shall possess, within the veil,
Bright shining as the sun, A life of joy and peace.
We've no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
This additional verse is credited by some to John P. But God, who call’d me here below,
Rees (1828-1900)[2] and became firmly established as Will be forever mine.
part of the hymn from the early twentienth century,
appearing in many hymnal John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
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 Shape Note version from
series of popular hymnbooks in the early twentieth century. (See also the versions in 1835.
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
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.

10,000 Years on their 2005 comeback album Reborn. The Christian
alternative rock band The Almost recorded a version entitled "Amazing

Ani DiFranco often performs the song live, and she includes it on many of her albums including Dilate and
Living in Clip
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards have re-recorded it on their Spirit Of The Glen (2007) CD, between tours of
duty in Iraq. It is believed the pipes & 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 Eureka Seven
