Faith Its Author and Preciousness

Verse 1

Faith! ’tis a precious grace, Where’er it is bestowed; It boasts of a celestial birth, And is the gift of God.

Verse 2

Jesus it owns a King, An all-atoning Priest; It claims no merits of its own, But looks for all in Christ.

Verse 3

To him it leads the soul, When filled with deep distress; Flies to the fountain of his blood, And trusts his righteousness.

Verse 4

Since ’tis thy work alone, And that divinely free, Come, Holy Spirit, and make known The power of faith in me.
