Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School ‎#82

82. In Faith

1 In faith we lift our plea;
Have mercy, O our Saviour!
They shall receive Thy favor
Who call on Thee.
From Thee we nothing hide,
Our fears and sings bewailing;
Thou knowest, Lord, each failing,
And all beside.

2 We only truly live,
O Christ, in Thee believing:
All things from Thee receiving,
As feely give.
In holy praise to Thee,
Love, peace and joy upspringing,
Fill more than earth with winging—
Eternity.

3 Grant us such faith to live,
And draw us daily nearer.
A faith to see Thee clearer,
Dear, Lord, now give.
Thus shall our every breath Confess
Thy name for ever,
In faith that naught shall sever,
In life or death.
