EDITORIAL Amazing Grace I was blessed last week with the opportunity to travel to New York City with my mother and sister-in-law. We went to see the sights and the Christmas lights, but the experiences that will stick with me had nothing to do with any specific landmarks. One of those experiences happened completely by accident on our part, though maybe not truly by chance. As we took a quick walk through a corner of Central Park – on one of many winding paths – we literally had no idea where we were going. We could hear the sound of singing — no instruments, just voices. At first, we couldn’t pick out what song was being sung but as we were drawn closer we realized it was, “O Holy Night.” We continued walking toward the sound until we found its source — a handful of singers standing underneath a stone terrace. After doing a little digging a few days later, I found out that this group of gospel singers gathers at the Bethesda Terrace every day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to sing spiritual music for passers-by, or for those who specifically come to see them. We weren’t out on our stroll until about 3:30 p.m., so we were truly blessed to find them still singing at that time. We arrived at the tail-end of the familiar Christmas melody but hoped they would sing another. And they did, and I was so glad to get to hear them sing one of my favorite hymns — “Amazing Grace.” Amazing Grace is one of those songs that speaks to many people, some of course more than others. Even as a teenager, Amazing Grace has had that kind of “Just close your eyes and take it in” kind of ef- fect on me. “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. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear/And grace my fears relieved/ How precious did that grace appear/The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares/I have already come/’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far/And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me/His Word my hope secures/He will my Shield and Portion be/As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail/And mortal life shall cease/I shall possess, within the veil/A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow/The sun forbear to shine/ But God, who called me here below/Will be forever mine.” A later addition by another writer added the verse: “When we’ve been there ten thousand years/Bright shining as the sun/We’ve no less COLUMNS days to sing God’s praise/Than when we’d first begun.” Its words evoke a sense of peace. The story behind the song shows us why that is. Amazing Grace was written by John Newton in the late mid to late So close and yet so far away! 1700s.
