The Power of Faith.
Faith here in business buys and soils ; Faith buildeth towers and fathoms wells ; Faith leadsmen to Ambition's height ; Faith gold and jewels bring to lighls ; Faith has discovered unknown lands ; Faith peopled them with willing bands ; Faith i» an ever-stiining light, That cheers us through Life's darkest night. Faith nerve* with strength the weak and brave ; Faith brings the sailor o'er the wave ; Faith does extend from Pole to Pole ; Faith nourishes both mind and soul ; As Sol's bright rays dispel the gloom, So faith averts the sinner's doom. Faith unto humankind is given, To lead their souls through death to heaven. Hugh Yousa.
