I Know My Faith Is Founded

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.
