FAITH

       That trusts in Thy power to keep me fromharm,

       In fiery trials that I may be radiant,

       And rest in Thy love and be calm.

      

             

       I’ll trustThee with my whole heart,

       I’ll neverfrom Thee depart,

       I knowThou art keeping me safe in Thine arms,

       And I knowI’m free from alarms.

 

  2   O,give me a faith that is bold and triumphant,

        In perils and sword and all famine andpain;

        A faith that is steadfast and fore’erpersistent,

        O’er Satan the vict’ry to gain.

 

  3   O,give me Thy faith Lord, for this I beseech Thee,

         I long to be earnest, strong-hearted andtrue,

        With Thee I shall conquer, no evil cantouch me,

        My Lord, I shall surely win through.

 

  4   Assailedby wild tempests along my life’s voyage,

        When peace and all safety begin todepart,

        Lord, strengthen my faith, for Thy Wordis my courage

        And it will a new grace impart.

 

  5   Thyfaith that is precious, to me Thou hast given,

        The faith that will master the wind andthe wave;

        My anchor is cast now within the veilriven,

        By Thee I am mighty and brave.
