|
<p>The fish in wave, the bird on wing,<br>
|
|
God bade the waters bear;<br>
|
|
Each for our mortal body’s food<br>
|
|
His gracious hands prepare.</p>
|
|
<p>But other food, of richer cost,<br>
|
|
The immortal spirit needs;<br>
|
|
By faith it lives on every word<br>
|
|
That from His mouth proceeds.</p>
|
|
<p>Faith springing from the blood of Christ,<br>
|
|
Has flowed o’er every land;<br>
|
|
And sinners through the vanquished world<br>
|
|
Bow down to its command.</p>
|
|
<p>Its light the joy of Heav’n reveals<br>
|
|
To hearts made pure within;<br>
|
|
And bids them seek by worthy deeds<br>
|
|
Eternal crowns to win.</p>
|
|
<p>By faith the saints of old were strong<br>
|
|
The lion’s wrath to tame;<br>
|
|
By faith they spurned the tyrant’s threats,<br>
|
|
And scorned the raging flame.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, grant that we the path may tread<br>
|
|
Whereon its light doth shine;<br>
|
|
And gather, as we onward go,<br>
|
|
The fruits of love divine.</p>
|
|
<p>O praise the Father; praise the Son,<br>
|
|
On Whose most precious blood<br>
|
|
Rests all our faith; and praise to Him<br>
|
|
Who with Them both is God.</p>
