[The faith of Paul they see]

Then were they all of good cheer, and they, &c. —xxvii. 36.

The faith of Paul they see,
And then the word receive,
Revived by his alacrity
They venture to believe;
His firmness they behold
Whose life on Christ is cast,
And through his confidence made bold
They all escape at last.
'Tis thus with faithful Paul,
To dying souls we cry,
And bid them trust the Lord of all
On whom ourselves rely:
Redeem'd for Jesus' sake,
Believe our gospel true;
Our own eternal life we stake
On what we promise you.
Our danger is the same,
But lo, we dare depend
For grace and glory on His name
Whom we to you commend:
With us His word believe,
With us His promise prove,
Your life through Jesus' death receive,
And reach the port above.
