Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

More quotes by John Newton

There is many a thing which the world calls disappointment; but there is no such thing in the dictionary of faith. What to others are disappointments are to believers intimations of the will of God.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

A real friendship should not fade as time passes, and should not weaken because of space separation.

Whether men are pleased or not, we will, we must, worship the Lamb that was slain.

Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Olney Hymns (1779)

Then let us earnest be,
And never faint in prayer;
He loves our importunity,
And makes our cause His care.
