Christian Hymns ‎#253

253. Lord, I believe; Thy power I own

1 Lord, I believe; Thy power I own,
Thy Word I would obey;
I wander comfortless and lone
When from Thy truth I stray.
Lord, I believe; but gloomy fears
Sometimes bedim my sight;
I look to Thee with prayers and tears,
And cry for strength and light.

2 Lord, I believe; but Thou dost know
My faith is cold and weak;
Pity my frailty and bestow
The confidence I seek.
Yes, I believe; and only Thou
Canst give my soul relief:
Lord, to Thy truth my spirit bow;
"Help Thou mine unbelief!"
