Author: Petrus Herbert (d. 1571) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #330 (1972) First Line: Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n
Which grasps the promise God has giv'n;
Securely fixed on Christ alone,
A trust that cannot be o’erthrown.
2 Faith finds in Christ whate’er we need
To save and strengthen, guide and feed;
Strong in His grace it joys to share
His cross, in hope His crown to wear.
3 Faith to the conscience whispers peace;
And bids the mourner’s sighing cease;
By faith the children’s right we claim,
And call upon our Father's name.
4 Such faith in us, O God, implant,
And to our prayers Thy favor grant,
In Jesus Christ, Thy saving Son,
Who is our fount of health alone.
Amen. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Christian Evidences Faith, Dependence Scripture: Hebrews 11:6 Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS
