While in affliction's furnace. And passing through the fire, Thy love we praise in grateful lays, Which ever brings us nigher: We clap our hands, exulting In Thine almighty favour: The love divine, that made us Thine, Shall keep us ine for ever.

To which Thou shalt restore us, The world despise, for that high prize Which Thou hast set before us: And, if Thou count us worthy, We each, with dying Stephen, Shall see Thee stand at God's right hand,
To call us up to heaven. Amen.
