Praying For Faith

Verse 1

Father of Jesus Christ the just, My Friend and Advocate with thee Pity a soul that fain would trust In him who liv'd and dy'd for me; But only thou canst make him known, And in my heart reveal thy son.

Verse 2

If, drawn by thine alluring grace, My want of living faith I feel, Show me in Christ thy smiling face, What flesh and blood can ne'er reveal; Thy co-eternal Son display, And call my darkness into day.

Verse 3

The gift unspeakable impart; Command the light of faith to shine; To shine in my dark drooping heart, And fill me with the life divine: Now bid the new creation be: O God, let there be faith in me.
