النعمة المذهلة

Representative Text

النعمة مدهشة!
كم هو رائع هذا الصوت
الذي أنقذ بائس مثلي!
لقد كنت ضالاً قبلاً, ولكني وُجِدت الآن
كنت أعمى ولكني أرى الآن.
هذه النعمة علمت قلبي أن يخاف
وهذه النعمة فرجت عن مخاوفي
بالا هذه النعمة الثمينة
بالساعة التي آمنت بها أول مره
خلال العديد من الأخطار, الشراك والفخاخ,
لقد آن الأوان
هذه النعمة قد أعطتني الأمان حتى الآن,
وهذه النعمة ستدلني على بيتي.
لقد وعدني الرب بكل خير,
وعده هو مصدر أملي
سيكون الحامي لي وجزء مني
طالما الحياة مستمرة.
عندما يموت القلب والجسد,
وتنعدم الحياة البشرية
سأتملك, مع هذا الستار,
حياة يملئها الفرح والسلام.
سرعان ماستذوب الأرض كالثلج,
وتمتنع الشمس عن اشراقتها
ولكن الله الذي دعاني إليه,
سيكون لي للأبد.
عندما كنا هناك قبل عشرة الآف سنة,
اشراقة ساطعة مثل الشمس,
ولم نكن نتغنى بمديح الله
اقل من أول مرة بدئنا بها.

His licentious and tumul­tuous sailing life included a flogging for attempted desertion from the Royal Navy and captivity by a slave trader in West Africa. After his escape he himself became the captain of a slave ship. Several factors contributed to Newton's conversion: a near-drowning in 1748, the piety of his friend Mary Catlett, (whom he married in 1750), and his reading of Thomas à Kempis' Imitation of Christ. In 1754 he gave up the slave trade and, in association with William Wilberforce, eventually became an ardent abolitionist. After becoming a tide… Go to person page >

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
