Amazing Grace 《奇异恩典》
作词：John Newton (作于1779年)
作曲：James P. Carrell, David S. Clayton (作于1831)


约翰牛顿曾经贩卖黑奴，无恶不作，后来反而沦落非洲。在一次暴风雨的海上，他蒙上帝的拯救，于是决心痛改前非，奉献一生，宣扬上帝的福音，成为19世纪伟大的传道人。去世之前，他为自己写了墓志铭：“约翰牛顿牧师，从前是个犯罪作恶不信上帝的人，曾在非洲作奴隶之仆。但借着主耶稣基督的丰盛怜悯，得蒙保守，与神和好，罪得赦免，并蒙指派宣传福音事工。”这首诗歌就是他一生得拯救的见证。


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.

It was 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,
I have already come;
It is grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me 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.

Yea, 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 called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.

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’d first begun.


这首无伴奏歌曲的绝美程度，实在是文字难以企及。这是一种源自心底的颂赞，听了能感动得几乎让人落泪。演唱者裘蒂·考林斯是美国六七十年代相当出名的民谣歌手，嗓音之美后无来者。什么是天籁？这就是天籁！
