奇異恩典 何等甘甜 我罪已得赦免
前我失喪 今被尋回 瞎眼今得看見
如此恩典 使我敬畏 使我心得安慰
初信之時 既蒙恩惠 真是何等寶貴

(二）
許多危險 試煉網羅 我已安然經過
靠主恩典 安全不怕 更引導我歸家
將來禧年 聖徒歡聚 恩光愛誼千年
喜樂頌讚 在父座前 深望那日快現
Amazing Grace 的歌詞相當多，較常被演唱的有六段，如下：
[yt]HsCp5LG_zNE[/yt]
1. 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.
2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.
3. Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4. The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
5. Yea, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.
6. The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
當小海莉6歲就讀幼稚園時，在籌備聖誕晚會過程中，精準的音感和優美的嗓音讓老師驚為天人；海莉的祖父母都熱愛音樂，外婆甚至當過歌手，外公則拿手鋼琴和手風琴，威爾斯和愛爾蘭人的藝術基因早已悄悄在她的血液裡埋伏。直到12歲那年，海莉更堅定成為歌手的想法，於是和弟弟妹妹開始街頭賣藝，主要是興趣又能賺一點零用金，他們演唱像是音樂劇[悲慘世界]中動聽的《I Dream A Dream》，或西洋金曲如手鐲合唱團的《Eternal Flame》。漸漸地家人朋友都知道Westenra家族有這麼會唱歌的三姊弟，紛紛出資贊助完成他們灌錄CD的心願。15歲那年，海莉被唱片公司簽下發行個人專輯，並一舉成為紐西蘭小天后！
