Amazing Grace is a traditional Christian Hymn published in 1779. The words were written by English Poet and clergyman John Newton (1725-1807). With the message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognizable songs in the English-speaking world. Author Gilbert Chase writes that it is "without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns." It has had particular influence in folk music, and has become an emblematic African American spiritual.

Performance notes: This setting starts with a solo voice accompanied by a piano imitating the drones of the bagpipes. The piece should rise to a climax in the 3rd verse and then slowly die back down to an ’in the distance’ ending with the solo voice gently underpinned by the choir whose voices subtly extend beyond the last note of the soloist by way of an echo.
