Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss.
And saves me from its snares;
Its aid in ev'ry duty brings.
And softens all my cares:
Extinguishes the thirst of sin.
And lights the sacred fire
Of love to God and heavenly things,
And feeds the pure desire.
The wounded conscience knows its power.
The healing balm to give;
That balm the saddest heart can cheer.
And make the dying live.
Wide it unveils celestial worlds.
Where deathless pleasures reign;
And bids me seek my portion there.
Nor bids me seek in vain.
Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss.
And saves me from its snares;
Its aid in ev'ry duty brings.
And softens all my cares:
Extinguishes the thirst of sin.
And lights the sacred fire
Of love to God and heavenly things,
And feeds the pure desire.
The wounded conscience knows its power.
The healing balm to give;
That balm the saddest heart can cheer.
And make the dying live.
Wide it unveils celestial worlds.
Where deathless pleasures reign;
And bids me seek my portion there.
Nor bids me seek in vain.
