We walk by faith, and not by sight

Author: Dean Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #426 (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. We walk by faith, and not by sight; No gracious words we hear From Him who spake as man ne'er spake; But we believe Him near. 2. We may not touch His hands and side, Nor follow where He trod; But in His promise we rejoice, And cry, "My Lord and God!" 3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief; And may our faith abound, To call on Thee when Thou art near, And seek where Thou art found: 4. That, when our life of faith is done, In realms of clearer light We may behold Thee as Thou art, With full and endless sight. Amen.

Hugh Wilson

1766 - 1824 Composer (attr.) of "MARTYRDOM" in Sing the Faith Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-­time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
