About Amazing Grace
Few songs have crossed as many thresholds — church pews, hillside funerals, candlelit vigils — as "Amazing Grace." John Newton, a former slave-trade captain who underwent a profound conversion, wrote the words around 1772, and they have been sung ever since by voices in every language and tradition. The melody most Americans know, called "New Britain," is a pentatonic American folk tune that became forever wedded to Newton's words in the early 1800s, giving the hymn its quietly timeless, unhurried feeling.
