FAITH

By J. C. Clemens

Faith is a rare and precious gem, How few the prize possess! How few experience its power To comfort, strengthen, bless!
A breastplate to protect the heart From Satan’s shafts it is; The Christian who this breastplate hath Finds ample safety his.
Substance of things for which we hope, Essence of things not seen, The gift of God, the Spirit’s fruits, May we abound therein!
Yet faith with works must be combined, For so ’tis perfect made; So Abraham, by faith impelled, The Lord’s command obeyed.
Author and finisher of our faith, Help us to trust in thee, And tread the appointed path, although The end we cannot see.
J. C. CLEMENS.
