Amazing Grace

只看楼主收藏回复

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now I am found,
Was blind but now I see.
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;
This grace has 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.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the vail,
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,
Will be forever mine.

    《奇异恩典》创作于18世纪的赞美歌,歌词作者是由1725年出生于伦敦的英国白人约翰·牛顿John Newton ,歌词简洁充满敬虔、感恩的告白,也是他的生命见证,约翰牛顿本是一名黑奴船长,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。在歌中充满了他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。
    作词:John Newton
    作曲:James P. Carrell, David S. Clayton
    改编:edwin O. Excell
    这首感人至深的奇异恩典《Amazing Grace》其实是首圣诗,西方歌手演唱此曲的版本很多。Grace原意为"优雅、优美",此处解释成"上帝对人类的慈悲、恩宠"。
