In which year was the hymn "Amazing Grace" published?

At least once a year we sang this hymn. That was William Wilberforce ' s birthday. A great man and greatly underappreciated.

Player #130998363, the song It is well with my soul was written by Spafford after he lost his 4 daughters in a shipwreck his wife Anne survived.

Boy, that was something when Spock died!

I think he lost his wife and children in a ship wreck

I think this song is sung a lot in churches and funerals.

TRUE CANADIAN Laurel, chill Lauren! He didn’t say it was only sung in the US , he said it was sung particularly in the U.S. Maybe he’s never traveled outside the US so he has no personal knowledge of where else this hymn is revered.
