AUTHOR of faith, on me confer
By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. Matthew xvii. 20.
      1 AUTHOR of faith, on me confer
      The all-obtaining grace,
      Which wrestles and receives in prayer
      Thy largest promises;
      The faith unfeigned and unreproved
      Which can the test abide,
      From false humility removed,
      And self-deluding pride.

      2 A perfect confidence inspire
      From all presumption free,
      A holy boldness to desire
      The thing prepared for me;
      A wisdom to discern and know
      The time by God designed,
      A strength that will not let thee go
      Till I the blessing find.
