Faith in Jesus can repel

Verse 1

Faith in Jesus can repel The darts of sin and death; Faith gives victory over hell; But who can give us faith? Hope in Christ the soul revives, Supports the spirits when they droop; Hope celestial comfort gives; But who can give us hope?

Verse 2

Love to Jesus Christ and his, Fixes the heart above; Love gives everlasting bliss; But who can give us love? To believe’s the gift of God; Well-grounded hope he sends from heaven, Love’s the earnest of his blood, To all his children given.

Verse 3

Jesus, from thy boundless store, Thy treasuries of grace, On thy feeble followers pour Thy righteousness and peace. Of thy righteousness alone Continual mention we will make; We have nothing of our own; But soul and all’s at stake.
