- Sissel Kyrkjebø performing "Amazing Grace" with Oslo Gospel Choir at Norwegian Television in 1989.
"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn published in 1779, with words written by the English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725-1807). He was an English sailor, in the Royal Navy for a period, and later a captain of slave ships. Newton started his career at sea at a young age, and worked on slave ships in the slave trade for several years. After experiencing a period of Christian conversion Newton eventually renounced his trade and became a prominent supporter of abolitionism, living to see Britain's abolition of the African slave trade in 1807.
"Amazing Grace" was written to illustrate a sermon on New Year's Day of 1773. It is unknown if there was any music accompanying the verses; it may have simply been chanted by the congregation. It debuted in print in 1779 in Newton and Cowper's Olney Hymns but settled into relative obscurity in England. In the United States, however, "Amazing Grace" was used extensively during the Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century. It has been associated with more than 20 melodies, but in 1835 it was joined to a tune named "New Britain" to which it is most frequently sung today.
Sissel, the international singing sensation and national treasure of Norway, is established as one of the world’s leading crossover sopranos. Her angelic and powerful voice has made Sissel a national institution and she has sung all over the world, selling over ten million solo albums. She has contributed haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, and has been performing duets with singers like Charles Aznavour, Andrea Bocelli, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Mario Frangoulis, Josh Groban, Brian May, Neil Sedaka, Bryn Terfel and Russell Watson. In 2005, she was knighted by the King of Norway, as the youngest ever to receive this honour. And in 2006, her album 'The Spirit of the Season' with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir went to number-one on the Billboard Classical Charts, and received a Grammy nomination. A very remarkable voice that only comes once in our lifetime.

Preciosa voz y bo ITALIA canción gracias
Far beyond superb.
He loves us all and doesn't want any to be lost. Because of his amazing grace, we all can be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 in the Bible tells us "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast." All we have to do is believe that Jesus is God's son, he died on the cross and then rose from the grave to pay for our sins. There is nothing we can do ourselves to be saved and get to Heaven. Jesus did it all! But we must just believe!
From her lips to God’s ears. Most beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace I have heard. And I have had 65 years of hearing it! I never tire of hearing it no matter who sings it! I am the wretch that was saved long ago.
Greetings from Norway! Hope you are doing well, my friend! ❤️😃🇧🇻
Gracias al gran coro y bonita voz
Sissel is so beautiful. Her voice is amazing as a angel and her eyes shine 💙
she is so beautiful and her voice is amazing!
This is one of the best versions of Amazing grace..
agree
Judy Collins (her chorus version) is the best version of this particular song. However I love Sissel overall.
Purity In Her Soul,God Bless Her Always
Just love this song beautiful amazing song and voice perfect
Hello Keith. How are you doing?

Preciosa voz graciaz
Simplesmente incomparável, maravilhosa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful voice from that smiling face
Stunning
Qué belleza de música. Eleva el alma al cielo.
WOW!
Wow Joan Collins Beautiful Brilliant Performance l Xx
If Sissel did a DNA test, her heritage would include angelic ancestry. It would explain her voice. I'm out of words...
Did she sing the Titanic intro?
Yes she did👍
She is the haunting eternal voice in Titanic. Not given credit tho if I remember it right.
Dave knows well
There is a rendition by Judy Collins, a Capella, only a background choir. That's my fafourite rendition, next to that is sissel. Judy: ua-cam.com/video/AtteRD5bBNQ/v-deo.html
Love her as an artist but don't think it's a classic for her. Dianna Ross, Nana Muscouri and some others can lay claim to this one. But great version nonetheless.
Jag är såld .
Hard to believe she was only twenty when this was recorded. As she has gotten older her voice has become even more angelic. She truly is a gift from God!
Una de las voces más hermosas que he escuchado, clara prístina, una expresividad enorme, un carisma igual, en dis palabras Sissel es Fantástica.
Bright eyes, adorable and young Sissel, with a golden voice! She started at such an early age, to impress the world!

Are all Norwegian girls as lovely as Sissel? Just asking from the Philippines.
I wish
For Norwegian standard she is average.
Den här sången är så vacker så jag har bara lyssnat utan att fatta vad en "wretch" är! NU har jag äntligen googlat och det är ju en stackare. Kanske fattar jag inte mer ändå.......men vilken underbar sång.....
Hello dear
She is and amazing grace to humanity!
Beutiful and Smashing esplendor and qlorificara voice
So beautiful interpretation....with that amazing voice.
No matter what country you are from. And no matter what language you speak. The message is still the same. God loves all of us, every man, woman and child! Great job young lady! God bless you and your family always! Respectfully submitted from America 🇺🇸!
pandemics , wars , starvation where is the magic man in the sky
He didn’t promise a life free of tribulation but a way through it: Grace!
Hi Ron! I hope all is well with you too! Love will win! The people love the people! 👍 Greetings from Norway, my friend 🇧🇻😊
@@nycitylifeandhistory problem isn't the "magic man in the sky" - it is the "evil men down below (here on earth" !!! 😪😪😪
@@TLChrist fair point Happy Holidays

Inner beauty, outer beauty, all operating in God's gifting!
So very beautiful. What a God given talent.
Heavenly beautiful voice !!! God blessing for us to can hear this amazing talented women!!
What is impressionable are of the songs I've just now learned the choice she makes to give praise to God
Stunning in Stature and Voice-
Now I'll be able to sleep. So comforting and relaxing - beautiful!
What a wonderful voice.
20 year old on the threshold of greatness. Looking back all the way to that gauche 13 year old imitating Barbara Streisand and up until she sang Slow Down in 2019, is uniquely satisfying. To see extraordinary talent realised is pleasing.
Sissel; eres extraordinaria.
Beautiful
brillant love her
Beautiful women and her voice is from heaven.
Wow Ur Amazing Beautiful Brilliant Performance Love You Princess XX

i want to marry Sissel
AWESOME!! 🙏
Je regarde le ciel bleu en vous écoutant, vous êtes céleste.
What a pity that I have only now discovered this wonderful extraordinary voice of a lady so attractive and seemingly very humble.
She is no ordinary lady ....she is the sissel from titanic.
You lucky duck, Jan. This voice has given me such pleasure since I discovered it (for me), 4 years ago. I would like to do it all again and relive the astonishment..
This was the first song that I heard her sing.. I heard it in 1991. yes I've been listening to her for 30 years now. She has turned out to be what I feel the greatest female singer of all time. It took me about 10 years of listening to her before I came to realize this. She has tremendous range. Listen to her ALTO side in the Titanic. and her high range in "You'll Never Walk Alone". She not only sings Opera she sings in 15 languages! She sings crossover, Gospel just about everything except country, and the awful stuff that kids have been listening to for over 20 years now. She does not write music she simply sings it like no one else ever has... And on top of all this she's a beautiful, humble, empathetic being as well. Even today most people in the states have never heard of her. THAT'S how humble she is. Welcome to her world...
Stand that sentiment on its' head and give thanks that you found Sissel and her voice and let the energy it gives shine on your past and way ahead; And Overcome!
she was an angel
She still is.
Hello! Simply marvelous! Linda!🎶🎵💛💙💚
Hun var så vakker, nesten syndelig å ikke være troende, men jeg tror på musikken, og følelsen ;)
absolutely love this even though I am an atheist! ok? but nice song
Nobody gives a shit that you are atheist. We came here for her not you.
