Divine Guide 

     John Newton was active in the slave trade. 

     Then he found Christ, and the rest of his life totally changed. He wrote the well-known hymn, "Amazing Grace." 

     He also wrote the following:

Begone unbelief, my Saviour is near, 

And for my relief will surely appear; 

By prayer let me wrestle and He will perform;

With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 

Though dark be my way, since He is my guide,

Tis mine to obey, tis His to provide; 

Though cisterns be broken and creatures all fail,

The word He hath spoken shall surely prevail.
