John Newton - A Blessing of Grace

MAY THE GRACE OF CHRIST OUR SAVIOR

by 

John Newton 

May the grace of Christ our Savior

and the Father's boundless love,

with the Holy Spirit's favor,

rest upon us from above.

Thus may we abide in union

with each other and the Lord,

and possess in sweet communion

joys which earth cannot afford.

~John Newton

Amazing Grace

AMAZING GRACE

by

John Newton

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!

The Lord hath promised good to me,

  His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

  As long as life endures.

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 first begun.

 

John Newton - Lord Let me Love Thee

 Let me love thee more and more,

If I love at all, I pray;

If I have not loved before,

Help me to begin today.

~John Newton

John Newton - Persuaded

I am persuaded that love and humility are the highest 

attainments in the school of Christ

and the brightest evidences that He is

indeed our Master.
