I know my faith is found­ed
On Je­sus Christ, my God and Lord;
And this my faith con­fess­ing,
Unmoved I stand up­on His Word.
Man’s rea­son can­not fa­thom
The truth of God pro­found;
Who trusts her sub­tle wis­dom
Relies on shift­ing ground.
God’s Word is all suf­fi­cient,
It makes di­vine­ly sure,
And trust­ing in its wis­dom,
My faith shall rest se­cure.

Increase my faith, dear Sav­ior,
For Sa­tan seeks by night and day
To rob me of this trea­sure
And take my hope of bliss away.
But, Lord, with Thee be­side me,
I shall be un­dis­mayed;
And led by Thy good Spir­it,
I shall be una­fraid.
Abide with me, O Sav­ior,
A firm­er faith be­stow;
Then I shall bid de­fi­ance
To ev­ery ev­il foe.

In faith, Lord, let me serve Thee;
Though per­se­cu­tion, grief and pain
Should seek to ov­er­whelm me,
Let me a stead­fast trust re­tain;
And then at my de­part­ure
Take Thou me home to Thee
And let me there in­her­it
All Thou hast pro­mised me.
In life and death, Lord, keep me
Until Thy Heav’n I gain.
Where I by Thy great mer­cy
The end of faith at­tain.
