377. C. M. Bath Coll. Prayer for Strong Faith. 1 O, for a faith that will not shrink Though pressed by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! -- 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening 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 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.
