Verses 2,3

By faith the holy men of old Obtain’d a never-dying name; The Sacred Leaves their praise unfold, And God Himself records their fame.

Through faith we know the worlds were made, By His great word to being brought: He spake; the earth and heaven obey’d; The universe sprang forth from nought.

The heavens Thy glorious power proclaim, If Thou in us Thy power declare; We know from whom the fabric came; Our heart believes, when God is there.

Thee through Thyself we understand, When Thou in us Thyself hast shown, We see Thy all-creating hand, We feel a God through faith alone.
