I’ve never been to Bethlehem,
Nor walked by Galilee.
And the hills that knew my blessed Lord,
I may never live to see.
But I’ve tried to trace His footsteps,
Across the Sacred Page.
And by faith, I know He rules today,
As He has in every age.
O, Faith, faith without it,
You just cannot please the Lord.
Have faith, faith, to doubt it,
Brother, you cannot afford.
For faith is the substance
Of things hoped for and yet not seen.
And lack of faith is why the church is so awfully lean.

“Jesus, Revealed in Me” (stanza 2)
Here Lord I bring my heart,
My love, my strength, my will;
Cleanse me in every part,
With all Thy Spirit fill.
Written by Rodney Simon “Gipsy” Smith. Gipsy (also spelled “Gypsy”) Smith was born in a gipsy tent near London, England in 1860; he was “born again” (John 3.3) this date in 1876. Smith worked with the Salvation Army (had high regard for William Booth), with the Methodist, and evangelised among several other groups. He made five preaching trips to America as well as preaching in Australia.
