"Amazing Grace" is one of the most well-known Christian hymns. The words were written by John Newton; they form a part of the Olney Hymns that he worked on, with William Cowper and other hymnodists.

There isn't.
The song is from an age where music was only on paper. The actual 'pop-idols' were the writers not the performing artists like today.
Words: John Newton, 1779. Music: 19th Century American melody.

Amazing Grace is an old negro spiritual. Doubt they kept track of which *expletive deleted* wrote which *expletive deleted* song.

Good question. It's probably someone from the early 1700's when the modern Church was being formed.
