I Know My Faith is Founded

I know my faith is founded On Jesus Christ, my God and Lord; And this my faith confessing Unmoved I stand upon His Word. Man's reason cannot fathom The truth of God profound; Who trusts her subtle wisdom Relies on shifting ground. God's Word is all-sufficient, It makes divinely sure, And trusting in its wisdom, My faith shall rest secure.

2. Increase my faith, dear Savior, For Satan seeks by night and day To rob me of this treasure And take my hope of bliss away. But, Lord, with Thee beside me, I shall be undismayed; And led by Thy good Spirit, I shall be unafraid. Abide with me, O Savior, A firmer faith bestow; Then I shall bid defiance To every evil foe.

3. In faith, Lord, let me serve Thee; Though persecution, grief and pain Should seek to overwhelm me, Let me a steadfast trust retain; And then at my departure Take Thou me home to Thee And let me there inherit All thou hast promised me. In life and death, Lord, keep me Until Thy heaven I gain, Where I by Thy great mercy The end of faith attain.
