The grave has lost its power; Widely he'll spread his grace abroad, FAITH AND HOPE.. HYMN 307. 81. L. M. [#] Faith in God. 1 God is our Refuge and Defence, In trouble our unfailing Aid; Secure in his omnipotence, What foe can make our soul afraid? Yea, though the earth's foundations rock, And mountains down the gulf be hurled, His people smile amid the shock; They look beyond this transient world. 2 Thither let fervent faith aspire; Our treasure and our heart be there; No, on the mightier wings of prayer, name alone inspires their song. 2 The world &. oon, our spirits droop, Come to thy living temples, then, And man, O God, thine image here. HYMN 308. L. M. [#] We walk by Faith, not by Sight. 1 "Tis by the faith of joys to come We walk through deserts dark as night; Till we arrive at heaven, our home, Faith is our guide and truth our light. 2 The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3 Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith receives a heavenly ray, Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way. 4 So Abram, by divine command, Left his own house to walk with God: HYMN 309. C. M. [#] Vision of Faith. 1 HIGH on the mountain's towering head, While darkness veils the sky, Faith stands, and, through the stormy cloud, Directs her anxious eye. 2/Amidst the gloom, the welcome rays 3 The yawning gulf, that howled beneath, Has ceased its angry roar, The surging waves have spent their force, 4 Far in the distance faith beholds 5 Far, far beyond this nether world, HYMN 310. S. M. [#] 1 By faith may Jesus dwell In our believing hearts; While he that love which none can tell, 2 Then may we comprehend, grace extend, And know its depth and height. 3 Then, filled with every grace, 4 Soon we shall victors be, And crowns of glory wear; HYMN 311. C. M. [#] 1 MISTAKEN Souls, that dream of heaven, 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, 3 'Tis faith that purifies the heart; 4 This faith shall every fear control, HYMN 312. L. M. [#] Victorious Faith. 1 AWAKE, our souls; away, our fears; 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, While such as trust their native strength 4 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode; HYMN 313. C. M. [#] Power of Faith. 1 FAITH adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves us from its snares; Its aid in every duty brings, And softens all our cares. 2 It quells the raging flames of sin, Of love to God and heavenly things, 3 The wounded conscience knows its power 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, |
