Lyrics 1 I need, O Lord, a stronger faith, In this poor heart of mine, A faith to take Thee at Thy word, And all for Thee resign. Refrain: Grant me, O Lord, a living faith That I may follow Thee, Thro’ joy or sorrow, doubt or fear, Until Thy face I see. 2 A faith that to Thy promise clings, When clouds above me roll, A faith that sweetly works by love And purifies the soul. [Refrain] 3 A faith that soars beyond the sky, And looks within the veil, A faith that, till my latest hour, Shall never, never fail. [Refrain] 4 A patient, firm, enduring faith, The christian race to run, A faith to teach me how to say, My Lord, Thy will be done. [Refrain]
