1 Faith is the brightest evidence
Of things beyond our sight,
Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense,
And dwells in heav’nly light.
2 It sets times past in present view,
Brings distant prospects home,
Of things a thousand years ago,
Or thousand years to come.
3 By faith we know the world were made
By God’s almighty Word;
Abra’m, to unknown countries led,
By faith obeyed the Lord.
4 He sought a city fair and high,
Built by th’eternal hands,
And faith assures us, though we die,
That heav’nly building stands.
