Have I that faith, whose influence
Destroys the power of sin;
Subdues the vain delights of sense,
And makes the conscience clean.
Have I that lively faith and strong,
Which checks th’ insulting foe;
And when thick dangers round me throng,
Will bear me safely through?
Have I that faith which calms the soul,
When threatening storms arise;
Bids the huge billows cease to roll,
And straight the tempest dies.
have I that faith which looks to Christ,
Through clouds that intervene;
The sovereign king, atoning priest,
And trusts him though unseen,
If still this precious grace I want,
I seek it, lord, from thee;
‘Tis thine and thine alone to grant,
Impart this gift to me!
