Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #550 (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) First Line: We walk by faith, and not by sight Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From him who spoke as none e’er spoke;
But we believe him near.
2 We may not touch his hands and side,
Nor follow where he trod;
But in his promise we rejoice,
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found:
4 That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are,
In full and endless sight.
