amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

奇异恩典 何等甘甜 我罪以得赦免

四、amazing grace背后的冷知识

Amazing grace's lyrics written by the American John Newton. The lyrics full of devout, grateful confession, but also is a testimony of his life. Because he had been selling black slaves, later he  reduced to Africa unfortunately. In a disaster, he was saved by God, so he changed his mind and became the greatest minister at that time.

Amazing grace的歌词是由美国人约翰牛顿所作,歌词充满虔诚、感恩的告白,也是他生命的见证。因为他曾经贩卖黑奴,后来反而沦落非洲。后来一次遇难中,他受到上帝的拯救,于是痛改前非,成为了当时最伟大的传道人。

Amazing grace was originally just a traditional folk song, a song that Christians must sing every time they pray for repentance. Later, it became a popular pop song because of its growing popularity. Because of its extraordinary significance, including repentance, gratitude, atonement, rebirth, etc. At many national ceremonies or great funerals, you can hear this solemn song.

Amazing grace最初只是一首传统的民谣,是基督教徒每次祈祷忏悔时必唱的曲目。后来,它因为流传越来越广,成为了一首脍炙人口的流行歌曲,因为它的意义非凡,包含着忏悔、感恩、赎罪、重生等,现在很多国家典礼或伟人葬礼上,你都能听到这首庄严的歌。

Amazing grace has also appeared in many television dramas, you may not found. In Titanic, the old captain was standing around the sunken cockpit looked around, the dark sea rose "Amazing Grace" melodies; the TV series "Dreams Link" and "White Tower" also appeared this holy, beautiful song.
