FAITH, by

Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John
Subject(s): Faith; Religion; Belief; Creed; Theology


Lord, give me faith! -- to live from day to day,
With tranquil heart to do my simple part,
And, with my hand in Thine, just go Thy way.

Lord, give me faith! -- to trust, if not to know;
With quiet mind in all things Thee to find,
And, child-like, go where Thou wouldst have me go.

Lord, give me faith! -- to leave it all to Thee,
The future is Thy gift, I would not lift
The veil Thy Love has hung 'twixt it and me.
