Lyics

'TIS faith that purifies the heart;

'Tis faith that works by love;

It bids all sinful joys depart,

And lifts the thoughts above.



This faith shall every fear control,

By its celestial power:

With holy triumph fill the soul

In death's approaching hour.



By faith, where'er his hand shall lead,

The darkest path we'll tread:

By faith we'll quit these mortal shores,

And mingle with the dead.
