By faith I unseen Being see
 Forth lower beings call,
And say to nothing, Let it be ;
 And nothing hatches all.

By faith I know the worlds were made
 By God's great word of might;
How soon Let there be Light , he said,
 That moment there was light.

By faith I soar and force my flight
 Through all the clouds of sense;
I see the glories out of sight,
 With brighter evidence.

By faith I mount the azure sky,
 And from the lofty sphere,
The earth a little more espy,
 Unworthy of my care.

By faith I see the unseen things,
 Hid from all mortal's eyes;
Proud reason stretching all its wings,
 Beneath me flutt'ring lies.

By faith I build my lasting hope
 On righteousness divine;
Nor can I sink with such a prop,
 Whatever storms combine.

By faith my works, my righteousness,
 And duties all I own
But loss and dung; and lay my stress
 On what my Lord has done.

By faith I overcome the world,
 And all its hurtful charms;
I'm in the heav'nly chariot hurl'd
 Through all opposing harms;

By faith I have a conqu'ring pow'r
 To tread upon my foes,
To triumph in a dying hour
 And banish all my woes.

By faith in midst of wrongs I'm right,
 In sad decays I thrive;
In weakness I am strong in might,
 In death I am alive.

By faith I stand when deep I fall,
 In darkness I have light;
Nor dare I doubt and question all
 When all is out of sight.

By faith I trust a pardon free,
 Which puzzles flesh and blood;
To think that God can justify,
 Where yet he sees no good.

By faith I keep my Lord's commands,
 To verify my trust;
I purify my heart and hands,
 And mortify my lust.

By faith my melting soul repents,
 When pierced Christ appears;
My heart in grateful praises vents,
 Mine eyes in joyful tears.

By faith I can the mountains vast
 Of sin and guilt remove;
And them into the ocean cast,
 The sea of blood and love.

By faith I see J EHOVAH high
 Upon a throne of grace:
I see him lay his vengeance by,
 And smile in Jesus' face.

By faith I hope to see the sun,
 The light of grace that lent;
His everlasting circles ran
 In glory's firmament.

By faith I'm more than conqueror,
 Ev'n though I nothing can;
Because I set J EHOVAH 's pow'r
 Before me in the van.

By faith I counterplot my foes,
 Nor need their ambush fear;
Because my life-guard also goes
 Behind me in the rear.

By faith I walk, I run, I fly;
 By faith I suffer thrall;
By faith, I'm fit to live and die;
 By faith I can do all.
