Glory to God! whose witness-train, Those heroes bold in faith, Could smile on poverty and pain, And triumph even in death. | O, may that faith our hearts sustain, Wherein they fearless stood When, in the power of cruel men, They poured their willing blood. | God, whom we serve, our God, can save; Can damp the scorching flame, Can build an ark, or smooth the wave, For such as love His name. | Yea, should it even to man appear, At times, as though the Lord Forsook His chosen servants here, We yet will trust His word. | Lord! if Thine arm support us still With its eternal strength, We shall o’ercome the mightiest ill, And conquerors prove, at length. | |
