The New Christian Hymnal ‎#234

234. Lord, I Believe

1. Lord, I believe; Thy pow'r I own,
Thy Word I would obey;
I wander comfortless and lone
When from Thy truth I stray.

2. Lord, I believe; but gloomy fears
Sometimes bedim my sight;
I look to Thee with prayers and tears,
And cry for strength and light.

3. Lord, I believe; but Thou dost know
My faith is cold and weak;
Pity my frailty, and bestow
The confidence I seek.

4. Yes, I believe; and only Thou
Canst give my soul relief:
Lord, to Thy truth my spirit bow;
Help Thou mine unbelief.
