Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #635 (2006) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: We walk by faith and not by sight Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith and not by sight;
with gracious words draw near,
O Christ, who spoke as none e'er spoke:
“My peace be with you here.”
2 We may not touch your hands and side,
nor follow where you trod;
but in your 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 For you, O resurrected Lord,
are found in means divine:
beneath the water and the word,
beneath the bread and wine.
5 And when our life of faith is done,
in realms of clearer light
may we behold you as you are,
with full and endless sight.
