The Power of Faith

Verse 1

Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss And saves me from its snares; Its aid, in every duty, brings, And softens all my cares.

Verse 2

The wounded conscience knows its power The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer; And make the dying live.

Verse 3

Wide it unvails celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain.

Verse 4

It shows the precious promise sealed With the Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God.

Verse 5

There there unshaken would I rest, Till this frail body dies; And then, on faith's triumphant wings, To endless glory rise.
