\nO, for a faith that will not shrink,
\nThough pressed by many a foe,
\nThat will not tremble on the brink of poverty,
\nOf poverty or woe; Of poverty or woe;<\/p>\n
2
\nThat will not murmur or complain
\nBeneath the chastening rod,
\nBut in the hour of grief or pain, of grief or pain
\nCan lean upon its God; Can lean upon its God.<\/p>\n
3
\nA faith that shines more bright and clear
\nWhen tempests rage without;
\nThat when in danger knows no fear, knows of no fear,
\nIn darkness feels no doubt; In darkness feels no doubt.<\/p>\n
4
\nThat bears unmoved the world\u2019s dread frown,
\nNor heeds its scornful smile;
\nThat sin\u2019s wild ocean cannot drown, no, cannot drown,
\nNor its soft arts beguile; Nor its soft arts beguile.<\/p>\n
5
\nLord, give me such a faith as this,
\nAnd then, whate\u2019er may come
\nI\u2019ll taste, e\u2019en here the hallowed bliss, the hallowed bliss
\nOf an eternal home; Of an eternal home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
