Oh, For A Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: W. H. Bathurst Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #288 (1927) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink,
Tho' press'd by many a foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chast'ning rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears unmov'd the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 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. Topics: Spiritual Songs Faith Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, for a faith that will not shrink]

Oh, For A Faith That Will Not Shrink
Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee
Author: J. H. Gurney Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #392 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee,
And plead to be forgiven,
So let Thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us through good report and ill
Our daily cross to bear,
Like Thee to do our Father’s will,
Our brethren’s grief to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine,
And kindness in our being dwell
As free and true as Thine.
4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,
And grief’s dark day come on,
We in our turn would meekly cry,
"Father, Thy will be done."
5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
Or brethren faithless prove,
Then, like Thine own, be all our aim
To conquer them by love.
6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven,
O may we lead the pilgrim’s life
And follow Thee to heaven. Topics: The Church Year First Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year First Sunday after Trinity; Jesus Christ Our Example; Sanctification Tune Title: [Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee]
