We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight

Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith and not by sight; No gracious words we hear From him who spoke as none e’er spoke, But we believe him near. 2 We may not touch his hands and side Nor follow where he trod, But in his promise we rejoice And cry, “My Lord and God!” 3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief, And may our faith abound To call on you when you are near And seek where you are found. 4 For you, O resurrected Lord, Are found in means divine: Beneath the water and the Word, Beneath the bread and wine. 5 Lord, when our life of faith is done, In realms of clearer light, We may behold you as you are With full and endless sight.

Alleluia! 4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night When utmost evil strove against the light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! Alleluia! 5 Let ev’ry instrument be tuned for praise; Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise, And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia! Alleluia!
