O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho’ pressed by ev’ry foe
That will not tremble on the brink,
Of any earthly woe, of any earthly woe

That will not murmur nor complain, Beneath the chastening rod
But in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God, will lean upon its God

A faith that shines more bright and clear,
When tempests rage without
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt, in darkness feels no doubt

That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile
That seas of trouble cannot drown
Nor fiery darts defile, nor fiery darts defile

Lord give us such a faith as this, And then whate’er may come
We’ll taste even here the hollowed bliss
Of an eternal home, Of an eternal home
We’ll taste even here the hollowed bliss, of our eternal home
