Tried Is Every Faithful Man

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.
