[Praise He bestows on faith alone]
Jesus . . . said unto them, O ye of little faith,
—xvi. 8.
Praise He bestows on faith alone,
And only blames its littleness,
To teach us all depends on one,
The fruits, the works, the life of grace,
Doth all from faith alone arise,
And nothing its defects supplies.
And only blames its littleness,
To teach us all depends on one,
The fruits, the works, the life of grace,
Doth all from faith alone arise,
And nothing its defects supplies.
Author of faith, the pregnant grace
In measure large on me confer,
Proud reason then shall know its place,
Nor e'er usurp the sacred chair,
But meekly to Thy word submit,
And lie subservient at Thy feet.
