- How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
- In a believer's ear!
- It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
- And drives away his fear.
Learning, though it is useful when we know how to make a right use of it, yet, considered as in our own power, and to those who trust to it without seeking a superior guidance ... it is indeed like a sword in a madman's hands, which gives him the more opportunity of hurting himself than others.
JOHN NEWTON, Cardiphonia; or, The Utterance of the Heart
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see.
JOHN NEWTON. "Amazing Grace"
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.
JOHN NEWTON. "Amazing Grace"
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
JOHN NEWTON. "Amazing Grace"
