<p>Author of faith, eternal Word,<br>
|
|
Whose Spirit breathes the active flame;<br>
|
|
Faith like its finisher and Lord,<br>
|
|
Today as yesterday the same.</p>
|
|
<p>To Thee our humble hearts aspire,<br>
|
|
And ask the gift unspeakable;<br>
|
|
Increase in us the kindled fire,<br>
|
|
In us the work of faith fulfill.</p>
|
|
<p>By faith we know Thee strong to save;<br>
|
|
Save us, a present Savior Thou!<br>
|
|
Whate’er we hope, by faith we have<br>
|
|
Future and past subsisting now.</p>
|
|
<p>To him that in Thy Name believes<br>
|
|
Eternal life with Thee is given;<br>
|
|
Into Himself He all receives,<br>
|
|
Pardon and holiness, and heaven.</p>
|
|
<p>The things unknown to feeble sense,<br>
|
|
Unseen by reason’s glimmering ray,<br>
|
|
With strong commanding evidence<br>
|
|
Their heavenly origin display.</p>
|
|
<p>Faith lends its realizing light,<br>
|
|
The clouds disperse, the shadows fly;<br>
|
|
Th’invisible appears in sight,<br>
|
|
And God is seen by mortal eye.</p>
