Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #228 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) First Line: Faith owes its birth to sovereign grace Lyrics: 1 Faith owes its birth to sovereign grace, And lives beneath the throne, Where grace maintains her dwelling-place, And reigns supreme alone. 2 [Faith yields to grace the glory due, Nor dares assume her place; But owns all doctrines must be true That spring from sovereign grace.] 3 The precious cleansing blood of Christ Is a delightful theme; When faith is lifted up the high’st, She sings of none but him. 4 Faith owns the sceptre through the cross, And yields obedience true; Counts all things else but earth and dross, To keep the Lamb in view. 5 To live upon his precious death Is faith’s divine repast; The language of his dying breath, See how she holds it fast! 6 Faith views him dead upon the tree; Then buried in the grave; And waits around the tomb to see Him rise with power to save. 7 Then to the Mount of Olives go; There faith, with eager eye, Beholds her Lord leave all below, To dwell and reign on high. 8 With tears of joy, faith now believes The day will surely come, When he who Jesus’ cross receives Shall see him crowned at home.
