The Life of a Song: Amazing Grace
单曲鉴赏：Amazing Grace

The grand hymn of redemption took a long path to its current stature in American spirituality, from John Newton’s original lyric to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Ian McCann follows its turbulent history.
John Newton曾经是贩卖黑奴的船长，皈依基督教后致力于废除奴隶制。他所写的诗歌《奇异恩典（Amazing Grace）》给人以宁静的感动，著名歌唱家常常在美国总统的葬礼上演唱这首歌。
