《Amazing Grace(奇异恩典)》是美国最脍炙人口的一首乡村福音歌曲,也是全世界基督徒都会唱的一首歌,被奉为基督教圣歌。
歌曲表达了对宗教的忠诚,其中包含着一个平淡但是极富深意的赎罪故事:在歌中充满了一位黑奴船长对自己过去贩卖奴隶的悔恨,和对不计较这些仍赐福于他的上帝的感激之情。

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
奇异恩典,如此甘甜
That saved a wretch like me
我罪竟得赦免
I once was lost but now I'm found
我曾迷途,而今知返
Was blind but now I see
惶惑而今得见
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
教我敬畏,神之恩典
And grace my fear relieved
教我心灵释然
How precious did that grace appear
归信伊始,圣恩浮现
The hour I first believed
如何能不颂赞
Through many dangers toils and snares
历尽艰险,饱受磨难
We have already come
我等矗立依然
'Tis grace that brought us safe thus far
蒙此恩典,予我平安
And grace will lead us home
引我终归家园
When we've been there ten thousand years
人生在世,已逾千年
Bright shining as the sun
光芒何等耀眼
We've no less days to sing god's praise
齐聚吟颂,神之恩典
Than when we first begun
从今万世流传
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
奇异恩典,如此甘甜
That saved a wretch like me
我罪竟得赦免
I once was lost but now I'm found
我曾迷途,而今知返
Was blind but now I see
惶惑而今得见
