To walk where there is no path To breathe where there is no air To see where there is no light This is Faith To cry out in the silence The silence of the night And hearing no echo, believe And believe again and again This is Faith To hold pebbles and see jewels To raise sticks and see forests To smile with weeping eyes This is Faith To say God I believe when others deny I hear when there is no answer I see though naught is seen This is Faith And the fierce love in the heart The savage love that cries Hidden Thou art yet there! Veil Thy face and mute Thy tongue Yet I see and hear Thee love Beat me down to the bare earth Yet I rise and love Thee, love This is Faith
