最著名的信仰歌: 奇妙恩典 Amazing Grace

奇妙恩典 , Amazing Grace, 大概是基督信仰歌中最著名最感人的一首了 . 底下就把维基百科有关这首个的简要资料转载这里 :

"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 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)

John Newton wrote this hymn after converting to Christianity In the village of Kineton, in Warwickshire, England. The hymn describes his feelings about the slave trade while on his ship, the Greyhound, in 1748. Several years later he abandoned the slave trade. Newton maintained that his true conversion did not take place until several years after the storm incident.

这里所说的 storm incident 指的就是有一次 约翰.牛顿船行海上遇到突然的大风暴, 他向神呼求, 向神求救. 后来他们奇迹般从那次海上风暴中生存了下来. 他坚信是神垂听并回答了他的呼求, 是神救了他. 所以他写道:

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav’d a wretch like me!

《Amazing Grace》是首感人至深的圣歌，在美国前总统里根的葬礼上，就是唱的这首歌。在电影“泰坦尼克号”里，老船长站在即将沉没的驾驶舱里环顾四周，黑暗的海上升起的也正是这首歌的旋律…
现在在任何庄严隆重的场合、在仪式上、在很多流行音乐唱片里、在国家级的典礼你都能听到这首圣洁，祥和，庄重，优美的歌曲。
据说在全世界有上万个版本。其中Judy Collins的Cappella录音版本最为著名，被称为天籁，蝉联美国流行音乐排行榜的第一名，这首歌给她带来了蜚声国际的成功，歌曲本身也成为历史典范。
