O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink

Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #192 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho' pressed by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe; 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without, That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile; 5 Lord, give me such a faith as this, And then whate’er may come, I’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home. Amen. Tune Title: ST. ETHELDREDA

As with gladness men of old

Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-1898 Hymnal: Common Praise #83 (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old did the guiding star behold, as with joy they hailed its light, leading onward, beaming bright; so, most gracious God, may we evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped Saviour, to thy lowly bed, there to bend the knee before thee whom heaven and earth adore; so may we with willing feet ever seek thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare at that cradle rude and bare, so may we with holy joy, pure and free from sin’s alloy, all our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day keep us in the narrow way, and, when earthly things are past, bring our ransomed souls at last where they need no star to guide, where no clouds thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright need they no created light; thou its light, its joy, its crown, thou its sun which goes not down; there for ever may we sing alleluias to our King.
