O, for a faith that will not shrink,

Bb F C7 F
Though pressed by man-y a foe,

F Bb Gm Eb F7 Bb
That will not tremble on the brink of poverty,

F7 Bb Eb Bb F7 Bb
Of poverty or woe; Of po-ver-ty or woe;
[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] O, for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by many a foe, That will not tremble on the brink of poverty, Of poverty or woe; Of poverty or woe; [Verse 2] That will not murmur or complain Beneath the chastening rod, But in the hour of grief or pain, of grief or pain Can lean upon its God; Can lean upon its God. [Verse 3] A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, knows of no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; In darkness feels no doubt. [Verse 4] That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That sin’s wild ocean cannot drown, no, cannot drown, Nor its soft arts beguile; Nor its soft arts beguile. [Verse 5] Lord, give me such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come I’ll taste, e’en here the hallowed bliss, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home; Of an eternal home.
