330. Faith Is a Living Pow'r

1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
Which grasps the promise God has giv'n;
Securely fixed on Christ alone,
A trust that cannot be o’erthrown.

2 Faith finds in Christ whate’er we need
To save and strengthen, guide and feed;
Strong in His grace it joys to share
His cross, in hope His crown to wear.

3 Faith to the conscience whispers peace;
And bids the mourner’s sighing cease;
By faith the children’s right we claim,
And call upon our Father's name.

4 Such faith in us, O God, implant,
And to our prayers Thy favor grant,
In Jesus Christ, Thy saving Son,
Who is our fount of health alone.

Amen.
