Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#432

432. Increase our faith, almighty Lord!

1 Increase our faith, almighty Lord!
For Thou alone canst give
The faith that takes Thee at Thy word,
The faith by which we live.

2 Increase our faith, that we may claim
Each starry promise sure;
And always triumph in Thy name,
And to the end endure.

3 Increase our faith, O Lord, we pray,
That we may not depart
From Thy commands, but all obey
With free and faithful heart.

4 Increase our faith, that never dim
Or faltering it may be;
Crowned with the perfect peace of him
Whose mind is stayed on Thee.

5 Increase our faith, that unto Thee
More fruit may still abound;
That in the harvest time may be
To Thy great glory found.

6 Increase our faith, O Saviour dear,
By Thy rich sovereign grace,
Till, changing faith for vision clear,
We see Thee face to face.
