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!
