O for a faith that will not shrink
Author: W. H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #243 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Faith Lyrics: 1 O 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 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That 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 seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed!
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Tune Title: [O for a faith that will not shrink]

The Old Book and the Old Faith
Author: George H. Carr, 20th century Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #252 (1970) Topics: Faith First Line: 'Mid the storms of doubt and unbelief we fear Lyrics: 1 ’Mid the storms of doubt and unbelief, we fear,
Stands a Book eternal that the saints hold dear;
Thru the restless ages it remains the same—
’Tis the Book of God, and the Bible is its name!
Chorus:
The old Book and the old Faith
Are the Rock on which I stand!
The old Book and the old Faith
Are the bulwark of the land!
Thru storm and stress they stand the test,
In ev'ry clime and nation blest;
The old Book and the old Faith
Are the hope of ev'ry Land!
2 ’Tis the Book that tells us of the Father’s love,
When He sent His Son to us from heav’n above,
Who by richest promise creates hope within,
For ’tis thru His blood we are saved from ev'ry sin! [Chorus]
3 ’Tis the Book that tells us of the will of God
And the Savior’s teachings while the earth He trod—
How He soothed earth’s sorrows and relieved its woe,
Thru whom strength is given to conquer every foe! [Chorus]
4. ’Tis the Book that tells us of eternal life,
After faithful service in a world of strife,
And this glorious triumph over death’s dark fears
Is the world’s best gift in an age of countless tears! [Chorus]

Faith is the brightest evidence
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #286 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Faith in the blood of Christ; Christ faith in his blood; Repentance and faith in the blood of Christ Lyrics:
Faith is the brightest evidence
Of things beyond our sight,
Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense,
And dwells in heav'nly light.
It sets times past in present view,
Brings distant prospects home,
Of things a thousand years ago,
Or thousand years to come.
By faith we know the worlds were made
By God's almighty word;
Abram, to unknown countries led,
By faith obeyed the Lord.
He sought a city fair and high,
Built by th' eternal hands,
And faith assures us, though we die,
That heav'nly building stands.
Scripture: Hebrews 11 Languages: English

Faith Is a Living Pow'r
Author: Petrus Herbert (d. 1571) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #330 (1972) Topics: Christian Evidences Faith, Dependence First Line: Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
Which grasps the promise God has giv'n;
Securely fixed on Christ alone,
A trust that cannot be o’erthrown.
2 Faith finds in Christ whate’er we need
To save and strengthen, guide and feed;
Strong in His grace it joys to share
His cross, in hope His crown to wear.
3 Faith to the conscience whispers peace;
And bids the mourner’s sighing cease;
By faith the children’s right we claim,
And call upon our Father's name.
4 Such faith in us, O God, implant,
And to our prayers Thy favor grant,
In Jesus Christ, Thy saving Son,
Who is our fount of health alone.
Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 11:6 Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

Spirit of Faith, Come Down
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #332 (1989) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Faith Lyrics: 1. Spirit of faith, come down,
reveal the things of God,
and make to us the Godhead known,
and witness with the blood.
'Tis thine the blood to apply
and give us eyes to see,
who did for every sinner die
hath surely died for me.
2. No one can truly say
that Jesus is the Lord,
unless thou take the veil away
and breathe the living Word.
Then, only then, we feel
our interest in his blood,
and cry with joy unspeakable,
"Thou art my Lord, my God!"
3. O that the world might know
the all atoning Lamb!
Spirit of faith, descend and show
the virtue of his name;
the grace which all may find,
the saving power, impart,
and testify to humankind,
and speak in every heart.
4. Inspire the living faith
(which whosoe'er receive,
the witness in themselves they have
and consciously believe),
the faith that conquers all,
and doth the mountain move,
and saves whoe'er on Jesus call,
and perfects them in love.
