390 Author of faith, to Thee I cry,

1 Author of faith, to Thee I cry, To Thee, who wouldst not have me die, But know the truth and live: Open mine eyes to see Thy face, Work in my heart the saving grace, The life eternal give. 2 I know the work is only Thine, The gift of faith is all divine; But if on Thee we call, Thou wilt the benefit bestow, And give us hearts to feel and know That Thou hast died for all. 3 Thou bid'st us knock and enter in, Come unto Thee and rest from sin, The blessing seek and find; Thou bid'st us ask Thy grace, and have; Thou can'st, Thou would'st, this moment save Both me and all mankind. 4 Be it according to Thy word! Now let me find my pardoning Lord, Let what I ask be given; The bar of unbelief remove, Open the door of faith and love, And take me into heaven.
