Traditional (American)
Written in C major, range G3 to G4
A man who was once lost looks back in wonder at the grace that found him and has carried him safely through every danger. The words are by John Newton, a slave-ship captain who became a clergyman; this is E. O. Excell’s version of 1900, the one nearly everyone sings today.
