Faith Is the Brightest Evidence

Faith is the bright­est evi­dence

Of things be­yond our sight

Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense

And dwells in heav’n­ly light.

It sets times past in pre­sent view

Brings dist­ant pros­pects home

Of things a thou­sand years ago

Or thou­sand years to come.

By faith we know the world were made

By God’s al­migh­ty Word;

Abra’m

to un­known coun­tries led

By faith ob­eyed the Lord.

He sought a ci­ty fair and high

Built by th’eter­nal hands

And faith as­sures us

though we die

That heav’n­ly build­ing stands.
