3 PLAY AMAZING GRACE YOUR WAY!About “Amazing Grace”The Story of “Amazing Grace”Amazing Grace was published in 1779 by John Newton (1725-1807). Newton learned to sail with his father and thenenlisted as a crew member on a merchant vessel. Soon after his enlistment he was forced to serve in the British Royal Navy,a common practice at the time. He tried to escape the Navy but was caught and flogged in front of the ship’s crew. Eventuallyhe was able to transfer to another ship, but the crew did not like him. They left him in West Africa with a slave dealer whogave Newton to an African princess. The princess abused and mistreated Newton alongside her other slaves.In 1748 a sea captain sent by his father rescued him. On his voyage home to England he awoke to find the ship filling withwater during a violent storm. Just as he called out to God for mercy the cargo shifted enough to stop the leak, and he wassaved from drowning. He later wrote that his spiritual conversion began at this moment. As he grew more committed to hisChristian faith he came to believe that the slave trade was wrong. He became a prominent abolitionist and evangelicalreligious leader and was influential in Britain’s abolition of slavery in 1807.Four Versions of “Amazing Grace” in this PDFWe give you four versions of “Amazing Grace” to learn from.
