John Newton wrote the hymn "Amazing Grace" in 1779. The hymn tells the story of an individual who was once lost but has now been found through God's amazing grace. It describes how grace taught the individual's heart to fear and relieved their fears, and how grace has brought them safely through many dangers and will lead them home. The hymn expresses gratitude that God's grace saved a wretch like the individual and that they were once blind but now see through grace.
