Faith is a living power from heaven Which grasps the promise God has given ; Securely fixed on Christ alone, A trust that cannot be o'erthrown.
2. Faith finds in Christ whate'er we need To save and strengthen, guide and feed; Strong in His grace, it joys to share His cross, in hope His crown to wear.
3. Faith to the conscience whispers peace, And bids the mourner's sighing cease ; By faith the children's right we claim, And call upon our Father's name.
4. Such faith in us, O God, implant, And to our prayers Thy favour grant, In Jesus Christ, Thy saving Son, Who is our fount of health alone.
