I know my faith is found­ed
On Je­sus Christ, my God and Lord;
And this my faith con­fess­ing,
Unmoved I stand upon His Word.
Man’s reason cannot fa­thom
The truth of God pro­found;
Who trusts her subtle wis­dom
Relies on shifting ground.
God’s Word is all suf­fi­cient,
It makes divinely sure,
And trusting in its wis­dom,
My faith shall rest se­cure.

Increase my faith, dear Sav­ior,
For Satan seeks by night and day
To rob me of this trea­sure
And take my hope of bliss away.
But, Lord, with Thee beside me,
I shall be un­dis­mayed;
And led by Thy good Spi­rit,
I shall be una­fraid.
Abide with me, O Sav­ior,
A firmer faith be­stow;
Then I shall bid de­fi­ance
To every evil foe.

In faith, Lord, let me serve Thee;
Though persecution, grief and pain
Should seek to overwhelm me,
Let me a steadfast trust re­tain;
And then at my de­part­ure
Take Thou me home to Thee
And let me there in­her­it
All Thou hast pro­mised me.
In life and death, Lord, keep me
Until Thy Heav’n I gain.
Where I by Thy great mer­cy
The end of faith at­tain.
