Fearless in the Furnace of Affliction

Verse 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!

Verse 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.
