Give me the faith which can remove

1.

Give me the faith which can remove

And sink the mountain to a plain

Give me the child like praying love

Which longs to build Thy house again;

Thy love let it my heart o’er pow’r

And all my simple soul devour

2.

I want an even strong desire

I want a calmly fervent zeal

To have pour souls out of fire

To snatch them from the verge of hell

And turn them to a pardoning God

And quench the brands in Jesus blood

3.

I would the precious time redeem

And longer live for this alone

To spend, to be spent, for them

Who have not yet my Saviour known;

Fully on these my mission prove,

And only breathe, to breathe Thy love

4.

My talents, gifts and graces, Lord,

Into Thy blessed hands receive;

And let me live to preach Thy word

And let me to Thy glory live;

My every scared moment spend

In publishing the sinner’s Friend

5.

Enlarge, inflame and fill may heart

With boundless charity divine!

So shall I all my strength exert

And love them with a zeal like Thine;

And lead them to Thy open side

The sheep for whom their Shepherd died
