Faith its author and preciousness

Author: Beddome Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXVII (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Faith First Line: Faith! – 'tis a precious grace Lyrics: 1 Faith! - 'tis a precious grace, Where'er it is bestow'd! It boasts of a celestial birth, And is the gift of God! 2 Jesus it owns a king, An all-atoning priest, It claims no merit of its own, But looks for all in Christ. 3 To him it leads the soul, When fill'd with deep distress; Flies to the fountain of his blood, And trusts his righteousness. 4 Since 'tis thy work alone, And that divinely free; Lord, send the spirit of thy son To work this faith in me.

Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer tho' they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine, In robes of victory thro' the skies, The glory shall be thine.

Faith fainting

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXX (1792) Topics: The Graces of the Holy Spirit Faith First Line: Encompass'd with clouds of distress Lyrics: 1 Encompass'd with clouds of distress, Just ready all hope to resign, I pant for the light of thy face, And fear it will never be mine: Dishearten'd with waiting so long, I sink at thy feet with my load All plaintive I pour out my song, And stretch forth my hands unto God. 2 Shine, Lord, and my terror shall cease; The blood of atonement apply; And lead me to Jesus for peace, The rock that is higher than I: Speak, savior, for sweet is thy voice; Thy presence is fair to behold, Attend to my sorrows and cries, My groanings that cannot be told. 3 If sometimes I strive as I mourn, My hold of Thy promise to keep: The billows more fiercely return, And plunge me again in the deep: While harrass'd and cast from thy sight, The tempter suggests with a roar, "The Lord has forsaken thee quite; "Thy God will be gracious no more." 4 Yet, Lord, if thy love hath design'd No covenant blessing for me, Ah, tell me, how is it I find Some pleasure in waiting for thee? Almighty to rescue thou art; Thy grace is my only resource: If e’er thou art Lord of my heart, Thy spirit must take it by force. Languages: English
