“Believe only.” Luke. 8. 50; John. 6. 29

1 Zeal extinguished to a spark;
  Life is very, very low;
  All my evidences dark,
  And good works I’ve none to show.
  Prayer, too, seems a load;
  Ordinances tease or tire;
  I can feel no love to God;
  Hardly have a good desire.

2 Though thy fainting spirits droop,
  Yet thy God is with thee still.
  To believe in hope ’gainst hope,
  And against thee all things feel;
  Only to believe,
  ’Midst thy coldness, doubts, and death,
  Canst thou not, poor soul, perceive
  This is now thy work of faith?
