The Power of Faith

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CXXIV (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares; Its aid in every duty brings, And softens all my cares: 2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin, And lights the sacred fire Of love to God, and heavenly things, And feeds the pure desire. 3 The wounded conscience know its power The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer, And make the dying live. 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain: 5 Shews me the precious promise seal'd With the Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God. 6 There, there unshaken would I rest, 'Till this vile body dies; And then on faith's triumphant wings, At once to glory rise.

How languid are its flames! 2 Accept my faint attempts to love, My frailties, Lord forgive; I would be like thy saints above, And praise thee while I live. 3 Assist me while i wander here, Amidst a world of cares: Incline my heart to pray with love, And then accept my pray'rs. 4 Release my soul from every chain, No more hell's captive led; And pardon a repenting child, For whom the Saviour bled. 5 Spare me, my God, O spare the soul That gives itself to thee; Take all that I possess below, And give thy face to see. 6 Thy spirit, O my Father, give, To be my guide and friend, To light my ways to ceaseless joys, To Sabbaths without end.

The stoutest rebel must resign, At thy commanding word. 2 Deep are the wounds thy arrows give; They pierce the hardest heart; Thy smiles of grace the slain revive, And joy succeeds to smart. 3 Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh, Come with majestic sway: Down from thy glorious throne on high, And make thy foes obey 4 And when thy victories are complete; When all the chosen race Shall round the throne of glory meet, To sing thy conquering grace; 5 O may my humble soul be found Among that favor'd band! And I, with them, thy praise will sound As round the throne we stand. Scripture: Psalm 45:3-5
