John Newton
How Sweet the name of Jesus... the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding place, my never failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace.

John Newton
Zeal is that pure and heavenly flame,The fire of love supplies While that which often bears the name,Is self in a disguise.True zeal is merciful and mild,Can pity and forbear The false is headstrong, fierce and wild,And breathes revenge and war.
John Newton

John Newton
Though the island of Great Britain exhibits but a small spot upon the map of the globe, it makes a splendid appearance in the history of mankind, and for a long space has been signally under the protection of God and a seat of peace, liberty and truth.
John Newton
As to myself, if I were not a Calvinist, I think I should have no more hope of success in preaching to men, than to horses or cows.
John Newton
Experience is the Lord's school, and they who are taught by Him usually learn by the mistakes they make that in themselves they have no wisdom and by their slips and falls, that they have no strength.
John Newton
The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay But when I am happy in Him December's as pleasant as May.
John Newton
Let me endeavor to lead you out of yourself: let me invite you to look unto Jesus.
John Newton
My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one.
