SWEET TO LIVE BY FAITH.

O it is sweet to live by faith, To cast my burdens on the Lord; Calmly to trust what Jesus saith, And rest securely on his Word.
To find a refuge in his heart From every deep, corroding care; And thus to feel that peaceful rest, Which Zion's trusting children share.
To look beyond this vale of tears, And see my home prepared above; Give to the winds my doubts and fears, And trust a precious Saviour's love.
To trust him in the darkest hour, When clouds obscure his smiling face; Thus triumph o'er the tempter's power, Strengthened by all-sufficient grace.
Oh! these are drops of sacred bliss, Which e'en in Achor's vale are given; But the full streams of happiness Can be enjoyed alone in heaven.
