Give me the faith

- Give me the faith that can remove
- and sink the mountain to a plain:
- give me the child-like praying love
- which longs to build Thy house again:
- Thy love let it my heart o'erpower,
- and all my yearning soul devour!
- I would the precious time redeem,
- and longer live for this alone,
- to spend and to be spent for them
- who have not yet my Saviour known;
- and turn them to a pardoning God,
- and quench the brands in Jesus' blood.
- My talents, gifts, and graces, Lord,
- into Thy blessed hands receive;
- and let me live to preach Thy word;
- and let me to Thy glory live;
- my every sacred moment spend
- in publishing the sinners' Friend.
- Enlarge, inflame, and fill my heart
- with boundless charity divine!
- So shall I all my strength exert,
- and love them with a zeal like Thine;
- and lead them to Thy open side,
- the sheep for whom their Shepherd died
