Tune: St Bees
(\'Hark my soul, it is the Lord\')
James 2 v.14-26 part
**********
Faith without works, it be dead
Let us not here be misled
If only words, no action
\'Tis profitless, nothing done
Abraham his faith did show
Trusted in God here below
His son Isaac was to be
And offering for God, see
But this was not carried out
Though he obeyed with no doubt
God no human sacrifice
Desired, save Christ paid our price
Abraham\'s faith it was seen
In what he did humbly, keen
Faith it did with his works wrought
And was to perfection brought
Perfect, complete, we do see
Faith and works together be
Lord help us our faith to show
In action, obeying you
