Faith sees what our poor sight cannot,
knows truth which we, at birth, forgot.
Faith reads a script that has no lines
and follows paths unmarked by signs -
Rejects what scornful cynics say
and kneeling in the dark to pray,
perceives that far-off dazzling light
that pierces death's despairing night!
Faith swims against time's ruthless tide;
It leaps across doubt's chasms wide
and, link by link, it welds the chain
that draws us close to God again.
Strong is that chain, Faith will not die
though all our mortal senses try
to hush its brave, persistent voice,
we hear it cry: "fear not - rejoice!"
Rejoice, God will not take away
His promise made to men of clay;
on wings of Faith our souls shall rise
and see forgiveness in His eyes!
