Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #635 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God of thine Israel's faithful three,
Who braved the tyrant's ire,
Who nobly scorned to bow the knee,
And walked, unhurt, in fire:
Oh, breathe their faith into my breast,
In every trying hour;
And stand, O Son of Man, confessed
In all thy saving power!
2 While thou, Almighty Lord, art nigh,
My soul disdains to fear;
Both sin and Satan I defy,
Still impotently near:
The earth and hell their wars may wage--
I mark their vain design:
And calmly smile to see them rage
Against a child of thine. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; Fearless in the Furnace of Affliction Scripture: Daniel 3:23
