Though tried in fire like gold,
Just for a season grievous,
When in His furnace moulds.
CHORUS
Far above mortals and heavenly host,
Jesus on Zion exalted great post,
He is in pow’r as thesages have told,
Worship Jesus our Lord.
2. Offerthrough faith like Abel,
Faithful you walk with God,
Great the reward for humble,
Love Him, your gracious Lord.
3. His Word gives hope forrighteous,
More sure than Heaven or earth,
There is a light most glorious,
Which thrills our hearts with mirth.
4. God of all grace now speaketh,
His tender voice within,
For you His heart just longeth,
Let perfect work begin.
5. Kingdom of God for faithful,
His steps they followed true,
To reign from Zion most restful,
They are a chosenfew.
