Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA
