Introduction

Grace Revisited by James McClure B.A., M.T.S., Ph.D.

‘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!

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

(John Newton, 1725-1807)

For almost 250 years John Newton’s beautiful words have been much loved in the English speaking world. They have enjoyed the status of being both an aid to worship and a ‘best seller’ in popular music charts.
