Title:     Hymn 1:120 [Faith Is The Brightest Evidence]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Faith of things unseen, Heb. 11. 1 3 8 10.

Faith is the brightest evidence
Of things beyond our sight,
Breaks thro' the clouds of flesh and sense,
And dwells in heavenly light.

It sets times past in present view,
Brings distant prospects home,
Of things a thousand years ago,
Or thousand years to come.

By faith we know the worlds were made
By God's almighty word;
Abra'm to unknown countries led,
By faith obey'd the Lord.

He sought a city fair and high,
Built by th' eternal hands;
And faith assures us, tho' we die,
That heavenly building stands.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:120 [Faith Is The Brightest Evidence]
