Poem by John Bunyan

The Operation of Faith

The word of faith unto me pardon brings,
Shows me the ground and reason whence it springs:

To wit, free grace, which moved God to give
His Son to die and bleed, that I might live

This word doth also loudly preach to me,
Though I a miserable sinner be,

Yet in this Son of God I stand complete,
Whose righteousness is without all deceit;

'Tis that which God himself delighteth in,
And that by which all his have saved been. 

1. Upon a Snail
2. Upon the Pismire
3. Upon Fire
4. Of the Going down of the Sun
5. Love Inducin Christian Conduct
