Amazing Grace is one of the best-known hymns of all time. John Newton wrote it in the eighteenth century, and from then till today it still brings forth the message of soul saved and life changed.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am 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!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe 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.

Larry, thank you for this great service! I had a request to ring something at a funeral this week, and I knew that I would be able to come here and find something perfect for my duet partner and I to ring. And we did. All of your arrangements are beautiful and accessible, and I suppose I eventually will get around to owning all of them. 🙂 Thanks for this!
Hello. I have a very small bell choir and am interested in looking at your music. Is there a way to preview it before purchasing it? Thank you!

Hi Laura,
Unfortunately, the only preview we provide for most of our scores is the videos that we post to show how they’re played. However, we do have scores that you can download for free that will give you a taste of what we have. Those also have videos, so you can compare how they sound as a gauge of “challenge level”.
If your group is two to four members, you might check out our “Surprisingly Easy”™ scores. These are well-suited to ringers who are comfortable with Level 2 music.
If you have other questions, do ask them!
Happy Ringing,
Larry
