Christianity by Jacob French — Lyrics
'Tis by the faith of joys to come
We walk through deserts dark as night;
Till we arrive at heaven our home,
Faith is our guide, and faith our light.
The want of sight she well supplies,
She makes the pearly gates appear;
Far into distant worlds she pries,
And brings eternal glories near.

About Christianity
Jacob French's Christianity is a setting of an English text exploring the nature of faith as a guiding light through life's challenges. Sung by SATB choir, it would serve well as a thoughtful anthem during services where themes of spiritual journey and perseverance are explored. The text poetically describes faith as a means to overcome darkness and doubt, offering hope and a glimpse of heavenly rewards. It draws parallels with biblical figures like Abraham, whose faith led him to trust in divine promises and embark on a path towards a promised land. This piece offers a powerful message of conviction and steadfastness.
