Fulfilling Faith - Epistles of Peter Series - 1

Tune: Hanover

('O worship the King')

1 Peter 1 v.7-9

*******

Genuine faith, it be more precious see

Than treasures of gold-store shall to us be

It be of great value, surpassing earth's jewels

And strength to go on in Christ's image it fuels

 

Though tried as with fire, faith comes through the test

With God's power we glorify Him best

It shall be victorious, honour and praise

And glory give to Jesus, thanks shall we raise

 

Yet not having seen Christ Jesus our Lord

We have joy unspeakable and His word

Not depending on worldly, outward things, we

Have well-spring of joy and of glory, so be

 

The end of our faith, the outcome it shall

Be not vain, but salvation we know well

Salvation for our souls, redeemed, we set free

And then see Christ, dwell with Him eternally
