Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #520 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: O, For a faith that will not shrink Lyrics:
O, for a faith that will not shrink
Though pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe!
A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;—
Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate’er may come,
We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
