Faith sends me, Jesus, in thy name
To testify the truth divine,
The great salvation to proclaim,
And tells my heart, the cause is thine;
Faith bids me look on earthly kings
As feeble worms too mean to fear,
And all thy power and wisdom brings
Into thy dauntless confessor.
Faith sends me, Jesus, in Thy name
