faith (adv.)
faith (adj.)
One in whom persuasion and belief
Had ripened into faith, and faith become
A passionate intuition.
'T is hers to pluck the amaranthine flower
Of faith, and round the sufferer's temples bind
Wreaths that endure affliction's heaviest shower,
And do not shrink from sorrow's keenest wind.
To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, of which the rewards are distant, and which is animated only by faith and hope, will glide by degrees out of the mind unless it be invigorated and reimpressed by external ordinances, by stated calls to worship, and the salutary influence of example.
For forms of government let fools contest;
Whate'er is best administer'd is best.
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity.
We must be free or die who speak the tongue
That Shakespeare spake, the faith and morals hold
Which Milton held.
One in whom persuasion and belief
Had ripened into faith, and faith become
A passionate intuition.
The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God.
But Faith, fanatic Faith, once wedded fast
To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last.
Whose faith has centre everywhere,
Nor cares to fix itself to form.
He hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
In this awfully stupendous manner, at which Reason stands aghast, and Faith herself is half confounded, was the grace of God to man at length manifested.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
There lives more faith in honest doubt,
Believe me, than in half the creeds.
His faith, perhaps, in some nice tenets might
Be wrong; his life, I'm sure, was in the right.
Happy he
With such a mother! faith in womankind
Beats with his blood, and trust in all things high
Comes easy to him; and tho' he trip and fall,
He shall not blind his soul with clay.
Zealous, yet modest; innocent, though free;
Patient of toil, serene amidst alarms;
Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms.
When faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
And innocence is closing up his eyes,
Now if thou wouldst, when all have given him over,
From death to life thou might'st him yet recover.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
It is always right that a man should be able to render a reason for the faith that is within him.
Mirror of constant faith, rever'd and mourn'd!
For forms of government let fools contest;
Whate'er is best administer'd is best.
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
The enormous faith of many made for one.
The intelligible forms of ancient poets,
The fair humanities of old religion,
The power, the beauty, and the majesty
That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain,
Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring,
Or chasms and watery depths,—all these have vanished;
They live no longer in the faith of reason.
His faith, perhaps, in some nice tenets might
Be wrong; his life, I'm sure, was in the right.
When love begins to sicken and decay,
It useth an enforced ceremony.
There are no tricks in plain and simple faith.
O welcome, pure-ey'd Faith, white-handed Hope,
Thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!
Howe'er it be, it seems to me,
'T is only noble to be good.
Kind hearts are more than coronets,
And simple faith than Norman blood.
Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it.
The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers, is that which is woven of conviction and set with the sharp mordant of experience.
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,—
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee,—are all with thee!
His honour rooted in dishonour stood,
And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true.
We walk by faith, not by sight.
Who breaks his faith, no faith is held with him.
