I.

O Give me strength of living faith,
My Lord my GOD I pray,
Then shall I feel what Jesus saith,
And night be turn'd to day.

II.

I fain would soar to realms divine,
But oh, my faith is low;
And if I'm ask'd if thou art mine,
Some time I do not know.

III.

When I have faith then I can move
Mountains of death and sin;
When I have faith I see thy love,
And find a heav'n within.

IV.

But unbelief rejects the grace
That Jesus would bestow,
And veils me from my Father's face
Chain'd down to guilt and woe.

V.

Lord give me faith to set me free
From chains of sin and death,
And let no spirit reign in me,
But thou the word of faith.
