"Little Faith"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in short meter)

Matthew 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

"Little Faith"

1. "O thou of little faith,"
On seas of trouble toss'd,
Depend on what the Saviour saith,
And you can ne'er be lost.

2. He bids you to Him come;
Why should you yield to fear?
The winds may blow, and billows foam,
But Jesus Christ is there.

3. Ye doubting souls, He saves
From Tophet's dreadful brink;
Then trample on the boist'rous waves;
He will not let you sink.

4. Though storms of sorrow rise,
And winds contrary prove,
Yet "wherefore dost thou doubt?" He cries,
"Mine is unchanging love."

5. "I did at first impart,
"The little faith thou hast;
"Then doubt no more, I'll ne'er depart,
"But ever hold thee fast."
