Glory to God! whose witness-train

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory to God! whose witness-train, Those heroes bold in faith, Could smile on poverty and pain, And triumph even in death. 2 Oh, may that faith our hearts sustain, Wherein they fearless stood, When, in the power of cruel men, They poured their willing blood. 3 God, whom we serve, our God, can save, Can damp the scorching flame, Can build an ark, can smooth the wave. For such as love his name. 4 Lord! if thine arm support us still With its eternal strength, We shall o'ercome the mightiest ill, And conquerors prove at length.
