Faith

Representative Text

1 If thou wilt know the fountain deep,
Of sweet unbroken rest;
The rest of faith thy soul shall keep,
He that believes is ever blest.

Refrain:
Put on thy strength, O Zion, rise,
And fix thy trust above the skies;
Move out on faith’s almighty plane,
Through Him that loved us dare to reign.

2 The gift of faith no limit knows,
Save God’s unbounded Word;
It triumphs o’er its giant foes,
And glorifies the blessed Lord. [Refrain]

3 Stay not in feeble unbelief,
When God commands be strong;
Be strong in Him, the Word believe,
And shout the overcomer’s song. [Refrain]

4 I can do all in Jesus’ name,
Thus sings the faith of God;
It sings and hills of trouble flee,
It rides triumphant on the flood. [Refrain]
