Amazing Grace – 4 Part Violin

Description

Description

18th Century Christian Hymn

John Newton, an English poet, wrote the words to Amazing Grace following a personal experience. He grew up in England without any particular religious conviction, but his life’s path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into service in the Royal Navy, and after leaving the service, he became involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In 1748, a violent storm battered his vessel off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland, so severely that he called out to God for mercy, a moment that marked his spiritual conversion.
