O for a faith that will not shrink
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Faith Increase of, prayed for; Steadfastness, prayed for Lyrics: O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though 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 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Used With Tune: NAOMI

Our souls arrive in peace!

and still is ours today.

through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
and keep us safe in grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.
