With an ethereal atmosphere, blended harmonies, and voices that soar, the beloved Irish group offers a version of the hymn that fans call “heavenly” and “deeply moving.”
From the moment the first note rings out, it’s clear this isn’t just another cover. Celtic Thunder’s strength lies in the rich diversity of its members — different ages, vocal styles, and tones coming together to create a sound that is both classic and refreshingly unique.
The performance is stripped down and sincere, allowing the emotional power of “Amazing Grace” to shine through without distraction.
As always, their vocals take center stage. Whether they sing in English, Gaelic, or Latin, the message of the hymn — redemption, grace, and peace — remains universal. It’s a reminder that music can reach beyond language and culture, especially when delivered with heart and honesty.
Fans were quick to share their praise online, many saying this version brought them to tears or made them feel like they were inside a cathedral. One viewer simply wrote, “They didn’t just sing the song. They lived it.”
Here’s what to know about “Amazing Grace”
With lyrics by poet John Newton and originally published in 1779, “Amazing Grace” is a classic Christian hymn that is overwhelmingly well-known in popular culture. The lyrics weave a story of being forgiven regardless of one’s past mistakes.
According to CBS, “Amazing Grace” is sung approximately 10 million times annually, from church services to on-stage covers to candid social media performances.
The hymn is incredibly popular for artists to cover. Celtic Thunder’s version joins other impeccable takes like Carrie Underwood’s phenomenal country-influenced cover, plus John Legend’s performance of it from 2007.
