Hymns for Times of Trouble, 2

Safe in the fiery furnace,
Joyful in tribulation,
My soul adores
With all its powers
The God of my salvation.
Walking through fire and water
I find His presence cheering,
By faith I see
The Deity,
And shout at His appearing.

The fire of persecution,
The floods of sin, surround me,
The flames forget
Their power to heat,
The waters cannot drown me.
Midst undevouring lions
The Saviour's arms embrace me,
And from their den
He up again
Shall for His glory raise me.

Kept by the strength of Jesus,
Almighty to deliver,
I find His name
Is still the same,
A Tower that stands for ever.
The wrath of men and devils
With feeble malice rages,
They cannot shock
Me on the Rock
Of everlasting Ages.

I see stretch'd out to save me
The arm of my Redeemer:
That arm shall quell
The powers of hell,
And silence the blasphemer.
The God of my salvation,
The mighty Serpent-bruiser,
Shall soon o'erthrow
The brethren's foe,
And cast down our accuser.

He gives me now a token
Of His protecting favour,
I shall be more
Than conqueror
Through Thee my loving Saviour.
I render Thee the glory,
I know Thou wilt deliver:
But let me rise
Above the skies.
And praise Thy love for ever.
