63. Keep Thy Faith Steady

1 Keep thy faith steady, my brother,
Shedding its beautiful ray,
Clear as the brow of the morning,
Bright as the eye of the day.

Refrain:
Tranquilly shining, never declining,
Keep thy faith steady, and wait, oh, wait on the Lord.
Keep thy faith steady, my brother,
Firm as a crock let it be;
Pray, and believe when thou prayest,
Love hath an answer for thee.

2 Keep thy faith steady, my brother,
Looking to Jesus alone;
Then will the blessing thou sleekest
Drop like the dew from his throne. [Refrain]

3 Keep thy faith ready, my brother,
Souls by its light may be won;
Trust till thy journey is over,
Trust till thy life work is done. [Refrain]
