Bow your ear to us here; hear, O Christ, the praises that your church now raises. 3 Fount of every blessing, purify my spirit, trusting only in your merit.

O for a faith that will not shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Appears in 706 hymnals Topics: Will Of God Lyrics: 1 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 or 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, Or 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 Illumes a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, We'll taste, while here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
