Lord, I Believe

lyricist: Daniel Howard (1814–1884)
Composer: Joseph Barnby, 1872

Lord

I be­lieve: help Thou mine un­be­lief;

Let me no other mas­ter know but Thee.

Thou art the Christ­ian’s God

The on­ly King and Chief

Of all who sol­diers of the cross would be.

Lord

I be­lieve

in mer­cy grant me grace

To know Thee

bless­èd Sav­ior

more and more;

I can do naught with­out Thee;

Jesus

show Thy face

Unto Thy serv­ant who would Thee ad­ore.

Lord

I be­lieve the hold of sin is strong

And stout its heart to pluck me from Thy love;

But strong­er is Thy grace;

Oh

strength­en and pro­long

The work of faith in me

my doubts re­move.

Lord

I be­lieve: help Thou mine un­be­lief;

Be this my pray­er though good re­port and ill;

Only to Thee I cling;

If long my day or brief

Master and Sav­ior

I will trust Thee still!
