Question: Is Amazing Grace a funeral hymn?
Amazing Grace by John Newton is a very interesting song because it is used in a wide variety of cases. For example, it is used when thanking God for blessings in life, and it can also be used during times of reflection and pondering on the faith, because it is through Christ Jesus that our eyes have been opened so that we can see and receive the grace that He has given.
But in times of funerals, it is also a very popular tune because it shares with us the faith that Christ Jesus has brought to us, and the assurance that even after death, that we are still kept by His amazing grace and love.
