207. C. M. *Wreford.

Prayer for Increase of Faith.

1 Lord! I believe; Thy power I own

Thy word I would obey;

I wander comfortless and lone,

When from Thy truth I stray.

2 Lord! I believe; but gloomy fears

Sometimes bedim my sight;

I look to Thee with prayers and tears,

And cry for strength and light.

3 Lord! I believe; but oft, I know,

My faith is cold and weak;

Make strong my weakness, and bestow

The confidence I seek!

4 Yes, I believe; and only Thou

Canst give my soul relief;

Lord! to Thy truth my spirit bow,

Help Thou my unbelief!
