Faith Reviving

Meter: Irregular Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-29 First Line: From whence this fear and unbelief Lyrics: 1 From whence this fear and unbelief? Hast thou, O Father, put to grief Thy spotless Son for me? And will the righteous judge of men, Condemn me for that debt of sin, Which, Lord, was charg'd on thee? 2 Complete atonement thou hast made, And to the utmost farthing paid Whate'er thy people ow'd; How then can wrath on me take place If shelter'd in they righteousness, And sprinkled with thy blood? 3 If thou hast my discharge procur'd, And freely in my room endur'd The whole of wrath divine; Payment, God cannot twice demand, First, at my bleeding surety's hand, And then again at mine. 4 Turn then, my soul, unto thy rest; The merits of thy great High Priest Speak peace and liberty: Trust in his efficacious blood; Nor fear thy banishment from God, Since Jesus di'd for thee.

Duba Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31 First Line: How lovely, Lord, how lovely Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place; my soul is longing, fainting, to feast upon your grace. The sparrow finds a shelter, a place to build her nest; and so your temple calls us within its walls to rest. 2 In your blest courts to worship, O God, a single day is better than a thousand if I from you should stray. I'd rather keep the entrance and claim you as my Lord than revel in the riches the ways of sin afford. 3 A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High; you shower us with blessings; no good will you deny. The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to strength shall go, and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow. Topics: The Church; Gathering; Grace Used With Tune: MERLE’S TUNE

Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay.
