Hymns of the Kingdom‎#91

Text:	Faith
Author:	Birdie Bell
Tune:	[Faith saw a realm these eyes can never see]
Composer:	Adam Geibel

1 Faith sees a realm these eyes can never see,
A land o’er which the Lord Himself is King,
Where we shall dwell, from sin and sorrow free;
The home where Christ His own at last shall bring.

2 Faith hears a song these ears can never hear,
A strain that echoes from the farther shore;
Our griefs all flee, our sad doubts disappear,
Its notes are heard above the billow’s roar.

3 Faith holds a wealth beyond our mortal grasp,
‘Twill make the owner rich beyond compare;
Our hands to rest within the Master’s clasp,
Our souls His wondrous peace and joy to share.
