By Request, ‘Amazing Grace’

Requested by Thewhiterabbot. Amazing Grace, sung by Elvis Presley. He was so famous for his rock ‘n’ roll, it was easy to forget he loved to sing gospel songs, too.

I love this hymn with bagpipes, but my cat won’t stand for it.

By Request, ‘Amazing Grace’

We have to thank Susan for requesting this one–just beautiful!

Amazing Grace, sung by Andrea Bocelli and Allison Krauss–yes, here is a hymn to feed the soul and heal the heart. God knows my heart needs it.

By Request, ‘Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone’

We have a hymn request from Susan–I can handle that (I think!): Amazing Grace and My Chains Are Gone, sung together as companion pieces by Melisa Oretade.

Now I’ll try to report a nooze story. Bear in mind that I can’t see, just now. Seems appropriate somehow, don’t you think?

By Request: ‘Amazing Grace’ (Embedded)

Requested by SlimJim (and I’m still not sure I’ve got it right)–Amazing Grace, embedded i a “Fight Song,” performed by The Piano Guys–Scottish castle and all.

As for the hymn contest–well, come on, let’s hear from some of you who never say a word! I know, I know, it’s a pattern you see all the time, everywhere: 10 percent of the readers make 90 percent of the hymn requests. It’ll take more than this to change human nature…

‘Amazing Grace’ (Two for One)

Simon Khorolskiy and Sounds Like Reign, together in one of the world’s best-loved hymns, Amazing Grace–well, I couldn’t resist.

The hymn shop is open all day if you want to make requests–and I’ve got to tell you, it isn’t crowded.

By Request, ‘Amazing Grace’

Susan asked for this rendition of Amazing Grace, by Peter Hollens with Home Free. You’ll notice they don’t need any musical instruments to help them along: their voices are their instrument.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

Bonus Hymn: ‘Amazing Grace’

Special hymn request from Susan: Amazing Grace, sung a capella by Peter Hollens with Home Free. I always try to post hymns requested by readers, so don’t be bashful. Was there ever a time in America when we needed hymns more?

‘Amazing Grace’ (Alan Jackson)

I’m listing your favorite hymns, dear readers, and I’m going to post them all, too, day by day. And the first one named is Amazing Grace. I hope you like this mellow rendition by Alan Jackson.

While I’m posting readers’ favorite hymns, we remain open for specific hymn requests. If you have a hymn you’d like to share, just leave a comment anywhere and we’ll do the rest.

‘Amazing Grace’ (Ernie Ford)

This is a wonderful rendition of Amazing Grace by Tennessee Ernie Ford, recorded in 1964.

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

‘How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds’

This hymn’s been with us since 1779, but I’d never heard it until yesterday–How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds, by John Newton. Yes: the same John Newton who wrote Amazing Grace.
