Faith

Language: English

 By Thee the fire doth shine
 Upon the sacred altar:
 To Thee we raise our song of joy and homage,
 Most Holy Faith!
 By Thee the gen'rous heart
 Is blessed with wealth and wisdom:
 To Thee he giveth all in humble gladness,
 Most Holy Faith!

 By Thee the prayers are heard
 That rise in silent worship:
 To Thee mankind and God are drawing nearer,
 Most Holy Faith!
 By Thee inspired, our song
 Ascendeth ever higher
 To Thee at early morn, at noon, at even,
 Most Holy Faith!
