Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #671 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Glory to God! whose witness-train,
Those heroes bold in faith,
Could smile on poverty and pain,
And triumph even in death.
2 Oh, may that faith our hearts sustain,
Wherein they fearless stood,
When, in the power of cruel men,
They poured their willing blood.
3 God, whom we serve, our God, can save,
Can damp the scorching flame,
Can build an ark, can smooth the wave.
For such as love his name.
4 Lord! if thine arm support us still
With its eternal strength,
We shall o'ercome the mightiest ill,
And conquerors prove at length.
