Faith

G. Holst

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!
