HYMN 101. The Shield of Faith.
Eph. 6.16. Above all things take the shield of Faith.
1 Faith is a Grace that God hath wrought In us who do believe; If it be strong, we need not care What Gun-shots we receive
1 FAith is a Grace that God hath wrought In us who do believe; If it be strong, we need not care What Gun-shots we receive
2 From Satan, who his fiery Darts Continually lets fly; Ah! 'tis our Shield to save all parts, Whatever danger's nigh.
3 A Shield is turned every way, That so no Dart may wound; And we by Faith, as with a Shield, Are compassed quite round.
