Amazing Grace

上篇發生問題~~

讓我無法修改

就是影片放在這囉~

From  http://www.folkmusic.com.tw/amazinggrace.htm

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NHK2004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。
