We Walk by Faith (Alford)

We walk by faith

and not by sight;

No gra­cious words we hear

From Him who spake as nev­er man

But we be­lieve Him near.

We may not touch His hands and side

Nor fol­low where He trod;

But in His pro­mise we re­joice

And cry

My Lord and God!

Help Thou

O Lord

our un­belief:

And may our faith abound

To call on Thee when Thou art near

And seek where Thou art found.

That

when our life of faith is done

In realms of clear­er light

We may be­hold Thee as Thou art

With full and end­less sight.
