Oh, Who Can Know the Mind of God
We Walk by Faith
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 73 hymnals First Line: We walk by faith, and not by sight Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight:
No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.
2 We may not touch his hands and side,
Nor follow where he trod;
Yet in his promise we rejoice
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
And may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found:
4 That when our life of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are
In full and endless sight.

Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.

As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords in human vesture;
In the Body and the Blood
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav'nly food.

Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of Light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the pow'rs of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.

Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry,

Behold, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light. [Refrain]

When high above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus

They all bowed down and prayed;
They traveled on together
To where the Babe was laid. [Refrain]

The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
