Hymn
The Power of Faith
Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss,
And saves us from its snares;
Its aid, in every duty brings,
And softens all our cares.
Wide it unvails celestial worlds,
Where deathless pleasures reign;
And bids us seek our portion there,
Nor bids us seek in vain.
It shows the precious promise sealed
With the Redeemer's blood,
And helps our feeble hope to rest
Upon a faithful God.
