The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4479

4479. O For The Faith In Jesu's Name

1 O for the faith in Jesu’s name
Which tyrants can despise,
Which triumphs o’er the threatening flame
And all its rage defies.

2 Calm it replies with resolute scorn
To furious cruelty,
"My body tear, or rack, or burn,
Ye cannot injure me."
