John 20:29: Sound in the faith, though weak and slow
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Sound in the faith, though weak and slow.
My feeble faith, sincere I know,
Jesus vouchsafes to' approve,
Though long my Saviour I withstood,
He hath the infidel subdued
By manifested love.
Consenting to my Lord and God,
The grace Divine by Him bestow'd
The comfort I receive,
A witness of His quickening power,
The Author of my faith adore,
And consciously believe.
