- 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. - Hudba

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!
Bright eyes, adorable and young Sissel, with a golden voice! She started at such an early age, to impress the world!
Sissel is wonderful. Her sincerity is wonderful and her voice is too! One of the best singers ever!
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!
Beutiful and Smashing esplendor and qlorificara voice

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! ❤️😃🇧🇻

Hello dear

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
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.
absolutely love your voice Sissel
If Sissel did a DNA test, her heritage would include angelic ancestry. It would explain her voice. I'm out of words...
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.
What a wonderful voice.
Real talent. Nice person. 👏❤
Just love this song beautiful amazing song and voice perfect
Hello Keith. How are you doing?
Purity In Her Soul,God Bless Her Always
She was beautiful om 1989, and she is beautiful now. Oh, what a voice!
John,prawdę prawisz👌🇵🇱
Beautiful voice from that smiling face
What is impressionable are of the songs I've just now learned the choice she makes to give praise to God
Absolutely stunning voice
I was blind and now l see . Beautiful
Gracias al gran coro y bonita voz

Hello Marlene. How are you doing?
AWESOME!! 🙏
Je regarde le ciel bleu en vous écoutant, vous êtes céleste.
Beautiful women and her voice is from heaven.
Praise the Lord!!!
She looks gorgeous with her hair down. Love you Sissel.
Wow , blessed Voice
If there was ever an angle on earth she is without doubt the one. What a blessing to mankind!
All praise to God
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!
Sissel is beautiful in all respects.
Beautiful Music Beautiful Voice
she was an angel
She still is.

Wow.. love u Sissel
Simplesmente incomparável, maravilhosa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is my favorite singer. but i notice her voice is much stronger now she is a little older,
I would like to thank the Mormans and Norway to help in the presentation of, "Sissel". I was given 5 years to live 5 years ago from cancer doctors...songs like this will help me in the transistion from death to the arms of Jesus...hopefully.
God show you his open arms. Have Faith.
And into his arms you comend your spirit God bless
