Amazing Grace by John Newton

约翰·牛顿(John Newton) (1725年1807年) 曾经是一艘奴隶船的船长。在1748年5月10日归家途中遇到了暴风雨,他经历了“伟大的判决”。在他的航海日志中他写道:他的船处在即将沉没的重大危险中,他喊道“主怜悯我们”。他逐渐走向光明,但在他与主的对话之后,仍然贩卖奴隶。
在非洲一个港口等待奴隶装船的时候,牛顿写下了歌曲《耶稣之名如此美妙》。以后,他和奴隶贩运割断了关系,当上了一名牧师,并且加入了威廉·威伯福斯领导的反奴隶运动

奇异恩典
1.奇异恩典何等甘甜 我罪已得赦免 前我失丧今被寻回 瞎眼今得看见
2.如此恩典使我敬畏 使我心得安慰 初信之时即蒙恩惠 真是何等宝贵
3.许多危险试炼网罗 我已安然经过 靠主恩典安全不怕 更引导我归家
4.将来禧年圣徒欢聚 恩光爱谊千年 喜乐颂赞在父座前 深望那日快现

"Amazing Grace"

Amazing grace, how sweet the soundThat sav’d 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 reliev’d;How precious did that grace appear,The hour I first believ’d!

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

The Lord has promis’d good to me,His word my hope secures;He will my shield and portion be,As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,And mortal life shall cease;I shall possess, within the veil,A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,The sun forbear to shine;But God, who call’d me here below,Will be forever mine.

John New­ton, Ol­ney Hymns (Lon­don: W. Ol­i­ver, 1779)
