Author: Bathurst Appears in 709 hymnals Topics: Special Selections Choir or Quartet First Line: O for a faith that will not shrink Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho' press'd by many a foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of poverty or woe; 2 That will not murmur or complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Can lean upon its God. 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; Then when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 That bears unmoved the world's dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That sin's wild ocean cannot drown, Nor its soft arts beguile. 5 Lord, give me such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, I'll taste e'en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

The glad immortal company, Arrayed in robes of light, With all the saints in sinless worlds, Thy constant praise recite. 3 The holy church thro'out the world, O Lord, confesses thee, That thou th' Eternal Father art, Of boundless majesty!
