Hymnal: Joy to the World #161 (1879) First Line: Oh for a faith that will not shrink Lyrics: 1 Oh for a faith that will not shrink,
Though press'd by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe;--
2 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;--
3 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life's last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Illumes a dying bed.
4 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate'er may come,
We'll taste, e'en here, the hallow'd bliss
Of an eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: HARP
