O for a faith that will not shrink

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 710 hymnals Lyrics: O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by every 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.

I Love to Steal Awile Away

Author: Mrs. Phoebe H. Brown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 634 hymnals First Line: I love to steal awhile away Lyrics: 1. I love to steal awhile away From ev'ry cumb'ring care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2. I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all His promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3. I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore. 4. I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heav'n; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driv'n. 5. Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer Used With Tune: NAOMI
