Wednesday's Word: A Stronger Faith

 



"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."
(Psalm 19:14)

I need, O Lord, a stronger faith,

In this poor heart of mine,

A faith to take Thee at Thy Word,

And all for Thee resign.


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.



A faith that to Thy promise clings

When clouds above me roll,

A faith that sweetly works by love

And purifies the soul.


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.


A faith that soars beyond the sky

And looks within the veil,

A faith that, till my latest hour,

Shall never, never fail.


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.


A patient, firm, enduring faith,

The Christian race to run,

A faith to teach me how to say,

"My Lord, Thy will be done."


Grant me, O Lord, a living faith

That I may follow Thee,

Thro' joy or sorrow, doubt or fear,

Until Thy face I see.
