Laudes Domini ‎#820

820. Faith and the Future

1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink
Though pressed by many a foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!--

2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God;--

3 God whom we serve, our God, can save,
Can damp the scorching flame,
Can build an ark, can smooth the wave,
For such as love his name.

4 Lord! if thine arm support us still
With its eternal strength,
We shall o'ercome the mightiest ill,
And conquerors prove at length.
