"Amazing Grace" is an extremely popular Christian hymn written by John Newton (1725-1807). The tune is an early American folk melody, first known as a plantation melody entitled "Loving Lambs." Its earliest known publication was found in the book The Virginia Harmony, compiled by James P. Carrell and David S. Clayton, published in 1831 in Winchester, Virginia.

John Newton, clergyman and the hymn writer of 'Amazing Grace,' was a sea captain before his conversion and acceptance of Christ as his personal Savior. 'Amazing Grace' represents the total expression of Newton's life.
