Faith in Christ

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. — 1 John 5:1

Lord, I believe thy heavenly word;
Fain would I have my soul renew’d;
I mourn for sin, and trust the Lord
To have it pardon’d and subdued.
O may thy grace its power display,
Let guilt and death no longer reign;
Save me in thine appointed way,
Nor let my humble faith be vain.
