CCXLIX. Faith the Gift of God

1 Hail, Alpha and Omega, hail!
Author of all our faith,
The finisher of all our hopes,
The truth, the life, the path.

2 Hail, first and last, the morning star,
In whom we live and move;
Increase our little spark of faith,
And purify our love.

3 Let that belief which Jesus taught,
Be treasur'd in our breast;
The evidence of unseen joys,
The substance of our rest.

4 O let us go from strength to strength,
From grace to greater grace,
From each degree of faith to more,
Till we behold thy face.
