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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

A faith that soars be­yond the sky
And looks with­in the veil,
A faith that, till my lat­est hour,
Shall ne­ver, ne­ver fail.

Refrain

A pa­tient, firm, en­dur­ing faith,
The Christ­ian race to run,
A faith to teach me how to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done.

Refrain
