Lyrics
1 Now faith is the
substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of
things not seen.
2 For by it the elders
obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we
understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of
God, so that things which
are seen were not made of
things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered
unto God a more excellent
sacrifice than Cain, by
which he obtained witness
that he was righteous, God
testifying of his gifts:
and by it he being dead
yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was
translated that he should
not see death; and was not
found, because God had
translated him: for before
his translation he had
this testimony, that he
pleased God.
6 But without faith it is
impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder
of them that diligently
seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being
warned of God of things
not seen as yet, moved
with fear, prepared an ark
to the saving of his
house; by the which he
condemned the world, and
became heir of the
righteousness which is by
faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when
he was called to go out
into a place which he
should after receive for
an inheritance, obeyed;
and he went out, not
knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in
the land of promise, as in
a strange country,
dwelling in tabernacles
with Isaac and Jacob, the
heirs with him of the same
promise:
10 For he looked for a
city which hath
foundations, whose builder
and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara
herself received strength
to conceive seed, and was
delivered of a child when
she was past age, because
she judged him faithful
who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there
even of one, and him as
good as dead, so many as
the stars of the sky in
multitude, and as the sand
which is by the sea shore
innumerable.
13 These all died in
faith, not having received
the promises, but having
seen them afar off, and
were persuaded of them,
and embraced them, and
confessed that they were
strangers and pilgrims on
the earth.
14 For they that say such
things declare plainly
that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had
been mindful of that
country from whence they
came out, they might have
had opportunity to have
returned.
16 But now they desire a
better country, that is,
an heavenly: wherefore God
is not ashamed to be
called their God: for he
hath prepared for them a
city.
17 By faith Abraham, when
he was tried, offered up
Isaac: and he that had
received the promises
offered up his only
begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said,
That in Isaac shall thy
seed be called:
19 Accounting that God was
able to raise him up, even
from the dead; from whence
also he received him in a
figure.
20 By faith Isaac blessed
Jacob and Esau concerning
things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he
was a dying, blessed both
the sons of Joseph; and
worshipped, leaning upon
the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when
he died, made mention of
the departing of the
children of Israel; and
gave commandment
concerning his bones.
23 By faith Moses, when he
was born, was hid three
months of his parents,
because they saw he was a
proper child; and they
were not afraid of the
king's commandment.
24 By faith Moses, when he
was come to years, refused
to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to
suffer affliction with the
people of God, than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin
for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach
of Christ greater riches
than the treasures in
Egypt: for he had respect
unto the recompence of the
reward.
27 By faith he forsook
Egypt, not fearing the
wrath of the king: for he
endured, as seeing him who
is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept
the passover, and the
sprinkling of blood, lest
he that destroyed the
firstborn should touch
them.
29 By faith they passed
through the Red sea as by
dry land: which the
Egyptians assaying to do
were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of
Jericho fell down, after
they were compassed about
seven days.
31 By faith the harlot
Rahab perished not with
them that believed not,
when she had received the
spies with peace.
32 And what shall I more
say? for the time would
fail me to tell of Gedeon,
and of Barak, and of
Samson, and of Jephthae;
of David also, and Samuel,
and of the prophets:
33 Who through faith
subdued kingdoms, wrought
righteousness, obtained
promises, stopped the
mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence
of fire, escaped the edge
of the sword, out of
weakness were made strong,
waxed valiant in fight,
turned to flight the
armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their
dead raised to life again:
and others were tortured,
not accepting deliverance;
that they might obtain a
better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of
cruel mockings and
scourgings, yea, moreover
of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they
were sawn asunder, were
tempted, were slain with
the sword: they wandered
about in sheepskins and
goatskins; being
destitute, afflicted,
tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was
not worthy:) they wandered
in deserts, and in
mountains, and in dens and
caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having
obtained a good report
through faith, received
not the promise:
40 God having provided
some better thing for us,
that they without us
should not be made
perfect.
