Blest is the Faith

Father Faber
Nicola A. Montani

Maestoso

1.
Blest is the Faith, divine and strong
Of thanks and praise and endless fountain,
Whose life is one perpetual song,
High up the Saviour's holy mountain.

Refrain
Oh, Sion's songs are sweet to sing,
With melodies of gladness laden;
Hark! how the harps of angels ring,
Hail! Son of Man! Hail Mother Maiden

2.
Blest is the Hope that holds to God,
In doubt and darkness still unshaken,
And sings along the heav'nly road,
Sweetest when most it seem forsaken.

3.
Blest is the Love that cannot love
Aught that earth gives of best and brightest;
Whose raptures thrill like saints' above,
Most when its earthly gifts are lightest.
