One Faith

One page from the Bible is all I need to read When day's callous cares my joys exceed One heart promise kept my being believes Will all life's anxious moment here my soul relieves One law alone by his strength alone to keep Purify me from vain ambitions and let me sleep One hour in the word each day makes secure My knowledge of his will, and keep me pure One faith in Him who made heaven and earth Who knelt in dust and gave me birth One faith when curse became blessings on the cross Marks with his blood and cleanse me of dross One faith to live, one faith to die, one faith to rise And claim the throne beyond the skies One faith that came from the word, one page To read, for so happy work what blessed wage!
