Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10.38 A Perfect Faith “O for a faith that will not shrink Though pressed by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! “That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Will lean upon its God; “A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; “That bears, unmoved, the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile. “Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.” --William H. Bathurst
