1. “Have faith in God,” the Savior said:
He saw the path that we must tread;
The frequent thorn, the fading flow’r,
The joy or pain of ev’ry hour.
Chorus:
O blessed faith! (O faith!) Its song of cheer (of cheer)
Revives our hope, (our hope) dispels our fear; (our fear)
The Shepherd’s staff (the staff), The Shepherd’s rod (the rod),
Still leads us on; have faith in God, in God.
2. Have faith in God, tho’ clouds may arise
And overspread the glowing skies;
Tho’ sun and stars grow dim and pale,
His boundless love shall never fail.
3. Have faith in God: a Father’s heart
Would to His child all good impart;
Much more will He regard the pray’r
Of those who cast on Him their care.
4. Have faith in God: His word divine
By day and night shall brightly shine,
Until we pass the gates of life
And faith shall yield to blissful sight.
