We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight
Author: Henry Alford. 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 72 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words draw near,
O Christ , Who spoke as none e’er spoke;
"My preace be with you here."
2 We may not touch Your hands and side,
Nor follow where You trod;
But in your 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,
With full and endless sight.

We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight
Hymn 110
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 209 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:5-8 First Line: There is a house not made with hands Lyrics:
There is a house not made with hands,
Eternal and on high;
And here my spirit waiting stands,
Till God shall bid it fly.
Shortly this prison of my clay
Must be dissolved and fall;
Then, O my soul! with joy obey
Thy heav'nly Father's call.
'Tis he, by his almighty grace,
That forms thee fit for heav'n;
And, as an earnest of the place,
Has his own Spirit giv'n.
We walk by faith of joys to come,
Faith lives upon his word;
But while the body is our home,
We're absent from the Lord.
'Tis pleasant to believe thy grace,
But we had rather see;
We would be absent from the flesh,
And present, Lord, with thee.

If on a quiet sea
Author: Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 240 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 Lyrics: 1 If on a quiet sea
Toward heaven we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, O God, to thee,
We'll own the fav'ring gale.
2 But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to come,
Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home.
3 Soon shall our doubts and fears
All yield to thy control:
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul.
4 Teach us, in every state,
To make thy will our own;
And when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; Walking by Faith

Walking by Faith
Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolved
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-11 Lyrics:
Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolved,
in death and ruins lie;
But better mansions wait the just,
prepared above the sky.
An house eternal, built by God,
shall lodge the holy mind,
When once those prison-walIs have fall’n
by which ‘tis now confined.
Hence, burdened with a weight of clay,
we groan beneath the load,
Waiting the hour which sets us free,
and brings us home to God.
We know, that when the soul, unclothed,
shall from this body fly,
’Twill animate a purer frame
with life that cannot die.
Such are the hopes that cheer the just;
these hopes their God hath giv’n;
His Spirit is the earnest now,
and seals their souls for heav’n.
We walk by faith of joys to come,
faith grounded on his word;
But while this body is our home,
we mourn an absent Lord.
What faith rejoices to believe,
we long and pant to see;
we would be absent from the flesh,
and present, Lord! with thee.
But still, or here, or going hence,
to this our labours tend,
That, in his service spent, our life
may in his favour end.
144
For, lo! before the Son, as judge,
th’ assembled world shall stand,
To take the punishment or prize
from his unerring hand.
Impartial retributions then
our diff’rent lives await;
Our present actions, good or bad,
shall fix our future fate.
Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolved
