O For a Faith!

Author: Bathurst Appears in 692 hymnals Topics: Living His Life Faith First Line: O for a faith that will not shrink Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho' press'd by many a foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of poverty or woe; 2 That will not murmur or complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Can lean upon its God. 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; Then 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 sin's wild ocean cannot drown, Nor its soft arts beguile. 5 Lord, give me such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, I'll taste e'en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home. Used With Tune: NORTHFIELD

O Golden Day

O golden day, so long desired, Born of a darksome night, The waiting earth at last is fired By Thy resplendent light.

The noises of the night shall cease, The storms no longer roar; The factious foes of love and peace Shall vex the soul no more. A thousand thousand voices sing The surging harmony: One Master, Christ, one Saviour-King; And brethren all are we. 3. Sing on, ye heralds of the morn, Your grand endeavor strain, Till Christian hearts estranged and torn, Blend in the glad refrain; And all the church, with all its pow'rs, In loving loyalty, Shall sing: One Master, Christ, is ours; And brethren all are we. 4. O golden day! the ages crown, Aglow with heavenly love, Rare day in prophecy's renown, On to thy zenith move, When earth and heav'n with one accord, In full-voiced unity. Shall sing: One Master, Christ our Lord; And brethren all are we. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
