'Soon as faith the Lord can see' (hymn) written by John Berridge

Theme: Idols destroyed and Jesus loved


Soon as faith the Lord can see

Bleeding on a cross for me,

Quick my idols all depart,

Jesus gets and fills my heart.


None among the sons of men,

None among the heavenly train,

Can with Jesus then compare,

None so sweet, and none so fair!


Then my tongue would fain express

All His love and loveliness;

But I lisp, and falter forth

Broken words, not half His worth.


Vex'd I try and try again,

Still my efforts all are vain:

Living tongues are dumb at best,

We must die to speak of  Christ.
