Faith and Sight

1 ’Tis sweet to walk by trust,
’Tis blessed not to know;
Faith brings a quiet peace and rest,
Which sight cannot bestow;
For night may weary prove,
And dimly light our way;
But faith a steady luster keeps
Through every hour and day.

Refrain:
’Tis sweet to walk by trust,
’Tis bless­èd not to know;
Faith brings a quiet peace and rest,
Which sight cannot bestow.

2 Sight cannot pierce beyond
A present world like this,
But faith ascends to Heav’n itself,
And antedates its bliss;
Sight flies when darkness comes,
And leaves behind no guide;
But faith a trusty pilot is,
And will with us abide. [Refrain]

3 Oh, who would ask for sight
Of faith to take the place;
’Tis quite enough to know that we
Are led by heav’nly grace;
In God then let us trust,
We all sometime shall know;
If not below, in Heav’n above,
Where endless pleasure flow. [Refrain]
