Lord, I believe; Thy power I own

John Reynell Wreford (1637) • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 21:22

Verse 1

Lord, I believe; thy pow'r I own, Thy Word I would obey; I wander comfortless and lone When from thy truth I stray.

Verse 2

Lord, I believe; but gloomy fears Sometimes bedim my sight; I look to thee with pray'rs and tears, And cry for strength and light.

Verse 3

Lord, I believe; but thou dost know My faith is cold and weak; Pity my frailty and bestow The confidence I seek.

Verse 4

Yes, I believe; and only thou Canst give my soul relief: Lord, to thy truth my spirit bow; Help thou mine unbelief. Amen.
