Faith by George Whitefield Chadwick — Lyrics
My faith is mighty as the tide
That silence sweeps from shore to shore.
I ask no other help beside;
I need no more.
My faith is boundless wealth to me;
No other treasure would I win;
Eternal fortune that shall be
Release from sin.

About Faith
The words of this anthem express a profound and unwavering faith, comparing its power and scope to the might of the ocean tide and its boundless wealth to an eternal fortune. The text emphasizes faith as a source of strength, support through doubt and pain, and courage against fear. Chadwick’s SATB setting captures this message of steadfast conviction, presenting a rich and resonant musical setting for the English text. This sacred anthem is well-suited for services or concerts where themes of spiritual reliance and inner fortitude are explored.
