By the end of the night, 18,000 delegates from forty-seven nations became part of a new Guinness World Record attempt for “The Most Languages Performed in a Song by Multiple Singers.”

At En2010 – Amazing Grace was sung in fifty languages including: Arabic, Mandarin, Zulu, Persian, Indonesian, Hindi, Spanish, Tagalog and even Cherokee Indian by thousands of Every Nation delegates and led by Hillsong worship leader and pastor, Darlene Zschech.

What better way to celebrate every tribe, nation, people, and language by singing Amazing Grace in as many languages as possible.

Amazing Grace was written by John Newton, a former slave ship captain who came to Christ. Many people believe the melody of this song is actually an old African folk song that Newton would have heard as the singing of the slaves wafted up from the hold of his slave ship. One of the most beloved Christian songs, Amazing Grace has been translated into almost every language and every nation.
