Faith the Evidence of Things Unseen

Verse 1

Faith is the brightest evidence Of things beyond our sight; Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense, And dwells in heavenly light.

Verse 2

It sets time past in present view, Brings distant prospects home, Of things a thousand years ago, Or thousand years to come.

Verse 3

By faith we know the worlds were made By God’s almighty word; Abram, to unknown countries led, By faith obeyed the Lord.

Verse 4

He sought a city fair and high, Built by the eternal hands; And faith assures us, though we die, That heavenly building stands.
