Faithful

1. Faint – er and faint – er may fall on my ear The

2. Whit – er and whit – er may turn with each day The

3. Dark – er and dark – er a – bove thee may spread The

voice that is sweet – er than mu – sic to hear;

locks that so sad – ly are chang-ing to gray;

clouds of a fate that is hope-less and dread;

More and more ea – ger – ly then will I list, That

Dear – er and dear – er shall these seem to me, The

Bright-er and bright-er the sun of my love Will

nev – er a word or an ac – cent be missed.

few – er an whit – er an thin – ner they be,

shine, all the shad – ows and mists to re – move.

Slow – er and slow – er the foot – steps may grow, Whose

Weak – er and weak – er may be the light clasp Of the

En – vy and mal – ice thy life may as – sail,

fall is the pleas – ant – est sound that I know;

hand that I hold so se – cure in my grasp;

Fa – vor and for – tune and friend – ship may fail;

Quick – er and quick – er my glad heart shall learn To

Strong – er and strong-er my own to the last Will

Per – fect and sure, and un – dy – ing shall be The

catch its faint ech – o and bless its re – turn.

cling to it, hold – ing it ten – der – ly fast.

trust of this heart that is cen – tred in thee!
