Text: | We Walk by Faith |
Author: | Henry Alford, 1810-1871 |
Tune: | SHANTI |
Composer: | Marty Haugen, b. 1950 |
1 We walk by faith, and not by sight:
no gracious words we hear
of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
but we believe him near.
2 We may not touch his hands and side,
nor follow where he trod;
yet in his promise we rejoice,
and cry “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
and may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near,
and seek where you are found:
4 That when our life of faith is done
in realms of clearer light
we may behold you as you are
in full and endless sight.
5 We walk by faith, and not by sight:
no gracious words we hear
of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
but we believe him near.
