Faith Focus: Hebrews Series - 14

Tune: St Cuthbert

('The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended')

Hebrews Chapter 11 part

*******

Now faith is the substance of the things

Hoped for, realisation rings

Within is, and faith [is] the evidence

Of things not seen, not shown to sense

 

Through faith we understand that the worlds

Wee framed by the word of God, yes

So that things which are seen were not made

From visible things, not thus arrayed

 

Many died in faith, not having received

Promises for which they believed

But they did see them afar off graced

And assured of them they them embraced

 

They too confessed that they were pilgrims

On the earth, light of faith not dims

Here not their country, here earth-bounden

Their faith looked to country of heaven

 

Without faith it be not possible

To please God, for who on Him call

Must believe that He is God, and He
