1.

Do you have the faith that Christ for us brought in?
By this great and mighty pow’r we conquer sin.
Yes, this faith, it is a key—
Unlocks doors to victory
For disciples who like Jesus long to be.

Chorus:

O precious faith—the faith of Jesus Christ!
It in His body lives, great vict’ry to us gives!
Faith’s Pioneer—we praise Him, Christ the Lord!
Because He was perfected, all things He can restore!

2.

Think that during the old covenant not one
Tasted pow’rs of faith now given by God’s Son.
In Christ’s body they were not.
Gifts and off’rings which they brought
In the shadow could not bring sin’s root to naught.

3.

Many make a shipwreck of their faith today.
Self-life’s root remains, no matter what they say.
By the law they still are bound;
By their sin they’re beaten down,
And by unbelief and doubt they’re driven round.

4.

For this precious faith of Jesus we must fight!
In the Church it has its dwelling in the light.
It’s your mark of royalty;
Soon you’ll reign eternally
If while here you in God’s host war faithfully!
