John Newton Quotes

I am still in the land of the dying; I shall be in the land of the living soon. (his last words)

I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am

Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.

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.
