Marcus Printup & Marcus Roberts, 'Amazing Grace' (John Newton)

Marcus Printup (1967) is an American jazz trumpeter who attended the University of North Florida Jazz Studies program and went on to work with Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, and Tim Hagans. In 1993, he became a member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis.

Accompanied by the pianist Marcus Roberts (1963), he offers a touching rendition of the classic 'Amazing Grace'.

Original lyrics:

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see!

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace!

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures!

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine!
Will be forever mine!
You are forever mine!
