Opening Hymn:We Walk By Faith” #2196 TFWS
Words: Henry Alford  Music: Attr. to Hugh Wilson
 
1.We walk by faith, and not by sight; No
gracious words we hear of him who spoke as
none e’er spoke, but we believe him near.
 
2.We may not touch his hands and side, nor
follow where he trod; yet in his promise
we rejoice, and cry, “My Lord and God!”
 
3.Help then, O Lord, our unbelief, and
may our faith abound; to call on you when
you are near, and seek where you are found:
 
4.That when our life of faith is done in
realms of clearer light we may behold you
as you are in full and endless sight.
 
5.We walk by faith, and not by sight: No
gracious words we hear of him who spoke as
none e’er spoke, but we believe him near.
