Refrain: Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe! Savior, raise my faith in Thee, Till it can move a mountain; Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe! All my doubts are buried in the fountain. 2 How easy when sailing the sea in a calm, To trust in the strength of Jehovah’s great arm; But somehow I find when the waves swamp the boat, It takes some believing to keep things afloat. [Refrain] 3 “I’ll stand to the end,” I have heard people say, “I’ll fight till I die, and will ne’er run away;” But when by temptation so fiercely assailed, They left off believing, and terribly failed. [Refrain] 4 And others there are full of courage and zeal, Who go to the battle like warriors of steel; But right in the heat of the conflict with sin, Instead of believing they faint and give in. [Refrain] 5 Then let us remember in running this race, That faith is not feeling, and trust is not trace; And when around us seems dark as the night, We’ll keep on believing, and win in the fight.
