Lord, I Believe

By Mary Valliant Nowlin

MARY VALLIANT NOWLIN
LORD, I believe; help thou mine unbelief, And teach me thy sweet law in joy or grief. O may I just be still, in doubt or fear, And listen till thy Spirit's voice I hear!
Lord, I believe; bear me to higher faith, That I may do whate'er my Master saith, And, though thy hand I may not always see, May know thy sendings, Lord, are best for me.
Lord, I believe. Help me to calmly wait, And, though the longed-for vision cometh late, O may I look, be it through tears, above, And see the rainbow, shining, of thy love!
Lord, I believe that thou dost care for me; I know thy love's in all that comes from thee; Help me the blessing ever to discern, Thy grace to feel, and every lesson learn.
Lord, I believe that thou forever art, And art omnipotent, with all my heart; With all my heart believe thy Word is sure, And when the mountains fail, it will endure.
And now I plead, O Father! make me whole, Every whit whole, in body, spirit, soul; Wherever sin's polluting power has been, O make me clean, my Saviour, make me clean!
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Then I will ever sing, in joy or grief; And, should the fiercest storms around me come, I'll bless the gale that sends me swiftest home.
