1 Faith is the brightest evidence Of things beyond our sight, Breaks thro' the clouds of flesh and sense, And dwells in heavenly light.
2 It sets times past in present view, Brings distant prospects home, Of things a thousand years ago, Or thousand years to come.
3 By faith we know the worlds were made By God's almighty word; Abra'm to unknown countries led, By faith obey'd the Lord.
4 He sought a city fair and high, Built by th' eternal hands; And faith assures us, tho' we die, That heavenly building stands.
