<p>O, for a faith that will not shrink,<br>
Though pressed by every foe,<br>
That will not tremble on the brink<br>
Of any earthly woe!</p>
<p>That will not murmur nor complain<br>
Beneath the chastening rod,<br>
But, in the hour of grief or pain,<br>
Will lean upon its God.</p>
<p>A faith that shines more bright and clear<br>
When tempests rage without;<br>
That when in danger knows no fear,<br>
In darkness feels no doubt.</p>
<p>That bears, unmoved, the world&#8217;s dread frown<br>
Nor heeds its scornful smile;<br>
That seas of trouble cannot drown,<br>
Nor Satan&#8217;s arts beguile.</p>
<p>A faith that keeps the narrow way<br>
Till life&#8217;s last hour is fled,<br>
And with a pure and heavenly ray<br>
Lights up a dying bed.</p>
<p>Lord, give me such a faith as this,<br>
And then, whate&#8217;er may come,<br>
I&#8217;ll taste, e&#8217;en here, the hallowed bliss<br>
Of an eternal home.</p>
