92. Faith, Hope and Love

1 Oh, sing to me a song of faith—
The living faith that feels no fear,
That triumphs over sin and death,
And brings eternal, glories near.
Faith clings to God, it trusts his word,
No storm can shake its sacred calm;
Thro’ weal or woe, unfalt’ring faith,
Sends forth a strong, triumphant psalm.

Chorus:
Oh, songs of faith and hope and love,
Your echoes sound from sea to sea,
Let earth’s remotest regions ring
With these glad songs of victory.

2 Oh, sing to me a song of hope—
The steadfast hope that bears the soul
Above the storms of earthly strife,
And bravely sings tho’ breakers roll.
Hope sees the crown above the cross,
Despair and doubt in vain assail;
For hope lives on, eternal sure,
When anchored safe within the veil. [Chorus]

3 Oh, sing to me a song of love—
The love that overcomes the world;
That longs to see all nations meet
Beneath its banners wide unfurled.
Sing on, sing on while life shall last,
On earth attune your harps for heav’n;
Some day to join angelic choirs
Where pow’r for perfect praise is giv’n. [Chorus]
