Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLXXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O For a true and living faith,
My God on me bestow;
That conquers Satan, sin and death,
And ev'ry other foe.
2 Such faith it is the gift of God,
Which none but Christ can give:
It makes the heart the Lord's abode,
Therein to move and live.
3 God's grace it is by faith embrac'd,
The Saviour is receiv'd;
All confidence in him is plac'd,
His promises are b'liev'd.
4 Such faith it worketh confidence,
And makes the soul admire
To taste such blessings fro above,
Such as she would desire.
5 This faith it worketh confidence,
And casts out slavish fear:
Then shall that work of grace commence,
And we learn what we are. Topics: The True Christian Life; The True Christian Faith Languages: English
