Thread Name: Is 'Amazing Grace' a Celtic song?
Subject: RE: Is 'Amazing Grace' a Celtic song?
Bob, out of curiosity, do those books state when this Sir Henry Bishop write the tune? Apparently John Newton, died in the early 19th century (1807?), so unless the tune came AFTER the song, the song was written in the 18th century.
