The Fish in Wave, the Bird on Wing
VERSE 1
Almighty
God, who from the flood
The fish
in wave, the bird on wing,
God bade
the waters bear;
Each for
our mortal body’s food
His
gracious hands prepare.
VERSE 2
But
other food, of richer cost,
The
immortal spirit needs;
By faith
it lives on every word
That
from His mouth proceeds.
VERSE 3
Faith
springing from the blood of Christ,
Has
flowed o’er every land;
And
sinners through the vanquished world
Bow down
to its command.
VERSE 4
Its
light the joy of Heav’n reveals
To
hearts made pure within;
And bids
them seek by worthy deeds
Eternal
crowns to win.
VERSE 5
By faith
the saints of old were strong
The
lion’s wrath to tame;
By faith
they spurned the tyrant’s threats,
And
scorned the raging flame.
VERSE 6
Lord,
grant that we the path may tread
Whereon
its light doth shine;
And
gather, as we onward go,
The
fruits of love divine.
VERSE 7
O praise
the Father; praise the Son,
On Whose
most precious blood
Rests
all our faith; and praise to Him
Who with
Them both is God.
