Give Me the Faith Which Can Remove

Verse 1

Give me the faith which can remove and sink the mountain to a plain; give me the childlike praying love, which longs to build thy house again; thy love, let it my heart o'er-power, and all my simple soul devour.

Verse 2

I would the precious time redeem, and longer live for this alone, to spend and to be spent for them who have not yet my Saviour known; fully on these my mission prove, and only breathe, to breathe thy love.

Verse 3

My talents, gifts and graces, Lord, into thy blessed hands receive, and let me live to preach thy word, and let me to thy glory live; my every sacred moment spend in publishing the sinner's Friend.

Verse 4

Enlarge, inflame and fill my heart with boundless charity divine, so shall I all my strength exert, and love them with a zeal like thine, and lead them to thy open side, the sheep for whom the Shepherd died.
