Here?s how to play the famous Christian hymn ?Amazing Grace? on piano!

This is an easy-to-play piano arrangement of ?Amazing Grace? in the key of G major.

You can use this sheet music to simply play the song on piano, accompany singers, or sing along yourself!

The lyrics of ?Amazing Grace? were written by English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725?1807), it was first published in 1779.

Containing a message of forgiveness, it is one of the most recognizable gospel songs in the English-speaking world.

Even US president Barack Obama once sang it in public during his eulogy for state Senator Clementa Pinckney (one of the victims of the Charleston church shooting 2015).

It?s centainly one of the greatest gospel songs to sing and play.


These sheets come with a seperate system for the singer, and the song?s full lyrics:


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.


When we?ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We?ve no less days to sing God?s praise

Than when we?d first begun.

Unlike the highly virtuoso Etudes d'execution transcendante by Franz Liszt,
these etudes by Wilhelm Killmayer are written 'in a deliberately anti-virtuoso
manner, without chroma, i.e. with seven tones and largely in two parts'. (Wilhelm Killmayer)

Each of the twelve pieces focusses on a single compositional or technical aspect. Diatonic scales, parallel thirds and major chords are combined with some technically very tricky passages.

Killmayer makes great demands on the pianist's concentration, subtly coloured performance and differentiated articulation. The seventh etude is given the title 'Im Schumann-Ton' - unforced heartfelt music, always somehow "absent" and unpredictable in its modulations.
