[Author of our faith, we look]

Stand fast in the faith. —xvi. 13.

Author of our faith, we look
For stronger faith to Thee,
Bless us, Thou eternal Rock,
With Thy stability;
Steadfast and unmoveable,
We then shall in Thy love remain,
Never faint, and never fail,
And never sin again.
Kept by Thine almighty hand,
We our Supporter own,
Humbly, confidently stand,
Till perfected in one;
Stand till with Thy saints in light,
We see Thee pompously descend;
Stand till faith improve to sight,
And grace in glory end.
