President Barack Obama ended his at times solemn, at times rousing eulogy for Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who was killed along with eight other African-American churchgoers last week, by leading the congregation in “Amazing Grace.”

After repeating those words, “Amazing Grace,” several times, the president paused before launching into the song as the mourners joined him.
