Poem by Charles Wesley

* * *

Tried is every faithful man,
As gold and silver tried,
Purged by grief, and purged by pain,
And seven times purified:
All who stand the fiery test,
Receive Thine image from above,
Bear Thy favorite name impressed,
Thy favorite name of love.

Brought into the fire I am,
And Thou wilt bring me through,
I shall call upon Thy name,
With all the creatures new;
I shall prove Thine utmost word,
Brightened with Thy glory, shine,
Claimed by Thee, shall claim my Lord
Through endless ages mine.

1. What Could Your Redeemer Do
2. Father, Saviour of Mankind
3. Jesus, from Whom All Blessings Grow
4. Happy the Souls to Jesus Joined
5. God of Truth, and Pow­er, and Love
