Thy wisdom in their lives be shown, Thy name confessed and glorified; Thy pow'r and love diffused abroad, till all the earth is filled with God. Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 Used With Tune: ST.

I Know My Faith Is Founded

Author: Erdmann Neumeister, 1671-1756 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Word of God Lyrics: 1 I know my faith is founded On Jesus Christ, my God and Lord; And this my faith confessing, Unmoved I stand on His sure Word. Our reason cannot fathom The truth of God profound; Who trusts in human wisdom Relies on shifting ground. God's Word is all-sufficient, It makes divinely sure; And trusting in its wisdom, My faith shall rest secure. 2 Increase my faith, dear Savior, For Satan seeks by night and day To rob me of this treasure And take my hope of bliss away. But, Lord, with You beside me, I shall be undismayed; And led by Your good Spirit, I shall be unafraid. Abide with me, O Savior, A firmer faith bestow; Then I shall bid defiance To ev'ry evil foe. 3 In faith, Lord, let me serve You; Though persecution, grief, and pain Should seek to overwhelm me, Let me a steadfast trust retain; And then at my departure, Lord, take me home to You, Your riches to inherit As all You said holds true. In life and death, Lord, keep me Until Your heav'n I gain, Where I by Your great mercy The end of faith attain.
