Fearless!

885 25th P. M. 77, 87 77, 87.
Fearless in the fire of tribulation.

HEAD of the Church triumphant,
   We joyfully adore thee;
   Till thou appear, thy members here
   Shall sing like those in glory:
   We lift our hearts and voices
   With blest anticipation;
   And cry aloud, and give to God
   The praise of our salvation.

2 Thou dost conduct thy people
   Through torrents of temptation;
   Nor will we fear, while thou art near,
   The fire of tribulation:
   The world, with sin and Satan,
   In vain our march opposes;
   By thee we shall break through them all,
   And sing the song of Moses.

3 By faith we see the glory
   To which thou shalt restore us;
   The cross despise for that high prize
   Which thou hast set before us:
   And if thou count us worthy,
   We each, as dying Stephen,
   Shall see thee stand, at God’s right hand,
   To take us up to heaven.
