Faith

Jesus
the Author and Finisher
of our faith

Heb. 12

148th

1  [ JESUS the Author is
Of true an living faith;
This blessed grace he gives,
And saves our souls from death;
By faith in him we live, and view
The wonders God alone can do. ]

2  [ The principle of faith
From Jesus we receive;
And all the power it hath,
The Lord the Saviour gave;
'Til Jesus gives us faith to view
The wonders God alone can do. ]

3  'Tis Jesus gives us faith
To fight and overcome;
To vanquish hell and death,
And trust in him alone;
With sweet surprise to sit and view
The wonders God alone can do.

4  Nor death, nor sin, nor hell
Against this faith can stand
She eyes the Saviour well,
And Jesus holds her hand.
He gives her power to live and view
The wonders God alone can do.

5  Through every trying scene
Down to the gates of death
Jehovah will maintain
The life and power of faith;
For death can never keep from view
The wonders God alone can do.
