Faith is the polar star

Verse 1

Faith is the polar star That guides the Christian's way, Directs his wanderings from afar To realms of endless day:

Verse 2

Faith is the rain-bow's form Hung on the brow of heaven, The glory of the passing storm, The pledge of mercy given:

Verse 3

The Faith that works by love, And purifies the heart, A foretaste of the joys above To mortals can impart:

Verse 4

It guides us far from strife, Where'er our footsteps roam, And promises eternal life When we have reached our home.
