Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times

Still let me guard the holy fire,
And still stir up Thy gift in me.
Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit,

love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is
by mercy that we shall be saved.
