We Walk by Faith

Author: I. Watts Appears in 300 hymnals First Line: 'Tis by the faith of joys to come Lyrics: 1. 'Tis by the faith of joys to come We walk thro' deserts dark as night; Till we arrive at heav'n, our home, Truth is our guide, and faith our light. 2. The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3. Tho' lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way, With joy we tread the desert thro', While faith inspires a heav'nly ray. Topics: Living His Life Faith Used With Tune: LOUVAN

The Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,011 hymnals First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet? Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 3 Since I, who was undone and lost, Have pardon thro' his name and word; Forbid it, then, that I should boast, Save in the cross of Christ, my Lord. 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my life, my soul, my all.
