“The just shall live by faith.” Rom. 1. 17; Heb. 10. 38

1 The just by faith shall live,
  Nor fear the powers of hell;
  All blessings that a God can give,
  In Christ most richly dwell.

2 By faith in Jesus’ blood,
  The just shall live indeed;
  Shall have a settled peace with God,
  And from their sins be freed.

3 When sense and reason fail,
  And all things dark appear,
  By faith, the just shall say, ’Tis well,
  Jehovah will appear.

4 If providence should frown,
  And crosses still increase;
  By faith, the just shall live and own
  God their salvation is.

5 By faith in Christ, as God,
  As Prophet, Priest, and King,
  The just shall live, and live to prove,
  That death has lost its sting.
