The Old Fashioned Faith

Author: Rev. N. A. McAulay Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: I am somewhat old fashioned, I know Refrain First Line: I'm a little old fashioned, I know Lyrics: 1 I am somewhat old fashioned, I know, When it comes to religion and God; Many think I am painfully slow Since I walk where my fathers have trod. I believe in repentance from sin, And that Jesus within us must dwell; I believe that if heaven we win, We must flee from the terrors of hell. Refrain: I’m a little old fashioned, I know; But God’s peace has a home in my soul; And I’ll praise Him wherever I go, For cleansing and making me whole. 2 I believe that the Bible is true, Though the critics have torn it apart, All its warnings and miracles too, I do wholly accept with my heart. I believe that the Sabbath was made To be sacredly kept for the Lord; And when broken for pleasure or trade We shall miss the eternal reward. [Refrain] 3 I believe our religion must be Not a cloak for our meanness or shame, But a power from bondage to free, All who trust in that heavenly name. I am telling the people each day, That the sinner forever is lost, Who has failed to accept the true way Which was opened at infinite cost. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I am somewhat old fashioned, I know]
