Text: | We Walk by Faith |
Author: | Henry Alford, 1810-1871 |
Tune: | SHANTI |
Composer: | Marty Haugen, b. 1950 |
1 We walk by faith, and not by sight:
No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.
2 We may not touch his hands and side,
Nor follow where he trod;
Yet in his promise we rejoice
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
And may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found:
4 That when our life of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are
In full and endless sight.
5 We walk by faith, and not by sight:
No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.
