FAITH.
Faith is an anchor,
Faith is a shield,
Faith is a weapon
The weakest may wield;
Faith is an antidote,
Faith is a balm,
Faint can the tyrant
Terror disarm;
Faith is a comforter,
Faith is a friend,
Faith is a talisman
Hearts to defend;
Faith is a monarch
With power to control
Horror and dread
When they threaten the soul;
Faith is a sentinel,
Knowing no fear,
Faith is a watchword,
The drooping to cheer;
Faith is the whisper
Of heavenly voice,
