256 BOOK OF THE A. AND A. RITE.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered his
only-begotten son.
By faith the children of Israel forsook Egypt, not
by faith, they passed
fearing the wrath of the king ;
through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the
Egyptians essaying to do, were drowned.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they
were compassed about seven days.
Faith subdueth kingdoms, worketh righteousness,
obtaineth promises, stoppeth the mouths of lions.
By faith, a steady course we steer
Through ruffling storms and swelling seas
By faith, we pass the vale of tears
Safe and secure, though oft distressed
By faith, subdue the king of fears,
And go rejoicing to our rest.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and
whose hope the Lord is : for he shall be as a tree
planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her
roots by the river. She shall not wither when the
heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green ; and she
shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither
shall she cease from yielding fruit.
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness, but
the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
