Amazing grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace that fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds
And drives away his fear
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free
No, there's a cross for everyone
And there's a cross for me.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun
奇異恩典
奇異恩典，樂聲何等甜美
拯救了像我這般無助的人
我曾迷失，如今已被找回
曾經盲目，如今又能看見
神蹟教我心存敬畏
減輕我心中的恐懼
神蹟的出現何等珍貴
那是我第一次相信神的時刻
歷經無數險阻、陷阱
我已走了過來
神蹟保我安全無虞至今
神蹟將指引我回到家
主耶穌的名字，在信徒的耳裡聽來多麼甜美
那撫平了他的煩憂，治癒了他的傷
趕走了他的恐懼
耶穌必得獨自揹負十字架
以拯救全世界
但每個人的心裡，包括我在內
都有著一副十字架
我們在此已一萬年
光芒如太陽一樣耀眼
和最初相比，我們能讚美上帝的時日並無二致
Amazing Grace
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.
'Twas 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;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
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.
アメージング・グレイス（三宅忠明：訳）
素晴らしき神の恵み、なんと甘美な響きよ！
私のよう人でなしでも、救われた。
私は見捨てられていたが、いま見出された。
私の目は見えなかったが、今は見える。
私の心に畏れることを教えたのは祈り、
そして、私のおそれを解放したのも祈り、
祈りとはなんと貴重に思えたことか、
私が初めて（神を）信じたその瞬間に。
多くの危険、労苦、罠を
くぐり抜けてここまでやってきた。
ここまで私を無事に導いてくれたのは神の恵み、
祈りこそ、私をわが家（天国）まで導いてくれる。
素晴らしき神の恵み、なんと甘美な響きよ！
私のよう人でなしでも、救われた。
私は見捨てられていたが、いま見出された。
私の目は見えなかったが、今は見える
Amazing Grace 的歌詞相當多，較常被演唱的有六段，如下：
1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.
2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
3. Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4. The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
5. Yea, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.
6. The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
ps. 1-3,5,6段為John Newton所填詞，第4段為John P. Rees所作。歌詞亦有克爾特人(Celts)的蓋爾語（Gaelic）填詞，因較少流傳，暫不列出。
歌詞的意境深遠，歌詞很長，演唱者很少將其唱完，大都只選擇其中的3-4段，但已使人動容。
Amazing Grace亦常被使用為電影插曲，中外皆然，如最近的（2004年）「大智若魚」（Big Fish）及「地下鐵」（Sound of Colors）。日本NHK在2004年重拍的電視連續劇「白色巨塔」，就使用紐西蘭音樂美少女海莉（Hayley Westenra）演唱的版本做為片尾曲，使Amazing Grace這首歌在日本及台灣因而聲名大譟。
