St. Thomas the Apostle

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From him who spoke 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.
