《Amazing Grace》中文翻译为《奇异恩典》，也有人称《天赐恩宠》,是美国最脍炙人口的一首乡村福音歌曲，是美国人最喜爱的一首赞美诗，也是全世界基督徒都会唱的一首歌，被奉为基督教圣歌。歌的主题和《圣经》的主旨相符：忏悔、感恩、赎罪、重生，现在在任何庄严隆重的场合、在仪式上、在很多流行音乐唱片里、在国家级的典礼以及在美国前总统里根的葬礼上，你都能听到这首圣洁，祥和，庄重，优美的歌曲。
这首感人至深的奇异恩典《Amazing Grace》其实是首圣诗，西方歌手演唱此曲的版本很多。Grace原意为"优雅、优美"，此处解释成"上帝对人类的慈悲、恩宠"。
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now I am found,
Was blind but now I see.
Was 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;
This grace has 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.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the vail,
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.
奇异恩典，何等甘甜，我罪已得赦免；
前我失丧，今被寻回，瞎眼今得看见！
如此恩典，使我敬畏，使我心得安慰；
初信之时，即蒙恩惠，真是何等宝贵！
许多危险，试炼网罗，我已安然经过；
靠主恩典，安全不怕，更引导我归家！
将来禧年，圣徒欢聚，恩光爱谊千年；
喜乐颂赞，在父座前，深望那日快现！
愿平安、喜乐常与众人同在，阿门！
