Representative Text

1 Christian soul be not afraid,
Let thy heart be undismayed;
Christ, thy Lord, for thee hath pray’d
That thy faith fail not.

Refrain:
Let thy faith fail not,
Let thy faith fail not,
All the way,
Night or day,
Let thy faith fail not.

2 Tho’ life’s storms be fierce and wild,
To God’s will be reconciled,
He will not desert His child,
Let thy faith fail not. [Refrain]

3 Do thy pray’rs unanswer’d wait?
Trust Him early, trust Him late,
God will yet unlock the gate,
Let thy faith fail not. [Refrain]

4 Do thy best the race to run,
Then at last, when sets life’s sun,
God will say to thee, “Well done,”
If thy faith fail not. [Refrain]
