    In the light of its recent history and usage, “Amazing Grace” has sometimes been called “the spiritual national anthem of America.” It is a description that can be applied even more widely on an international canvas, for the hymn soars above most boundaries as a simple celebration of the experience of grace. In principle it can be, and is, sung with this meaning not only by Christians but by Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and people of no particular faith.
