| Amazing Grace |
| A simple brief thought on Scottish Independance. Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it? There are only so many slices to a pie, for one to have more, another must have less. Lastly - to those Scottish "Loyalists" - to whom are you loyal? Scots royalty died in the 1700's so it can be no Scots crown - And certainly not it appears to those who came before, that bled for Scotland and her freedom ! |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
Words: John Newton, Olney Hymns (London:
W. Oliver, 1779).
Exception: the last stanza is by an unknown
author; it appeared as early as 1829 in the
Baptist Songster, by R. Winchell
(Wethersfield, Connecticut), as the last stanza
of the song “Jerusalem My Happy Home.”
Music: New Britain, in Virginia Harmony, by
James P. Carrell and David S. Clayton
(Winchester, Virginia: 1831).
This is probably the most popular hymn in the
English language—a television documentary
was even made about it. Perhaps it is
because its words so well describe the
author: John Newton was a slave trader
before coming to Christ. It was sung at the
funeral of American president Ronald Reagan
