Without a doubt, the most popular hymn ever written - the lyrics to "Amazing Grace" were written in late 1772 and probably used in a prayer meeting for the first time on January 1, 1773.

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.

The Lord has promised: good to me. His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield, and portion be, as long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come.
‘Tis grace hath brought me save, thus far, and grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there, ten thousand years, bright, shining as the sun;
We’ve no less days, to sing God’s praise, than when we’d first begun.
