Daniel: O For the faith in Jesu's name

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

O For the faith in Jesu's name
Which tyrants can despise.
Which triumphs o'er the threatening flame.
And all its rage defies;
Calmly replies with resolute scorn
To furious cruelty,
"My body tear, or rack, or burn,
Ye cannot injure me.''
