Hymn: TLH 260, st. 5,6: O Lord, Look Down from Heaven

Hymnary.org— Organ Audio

5. As silver tried by fire is pure 
From all adulteration, 
So through God’s Word shall men endure 
Each trial and temptation. 
Its light beams brighter through the cross, 
And, purified from human dross, 
It shines through every nation. 

6. Thy truth defend, O God, and stay 
This evil generation; 
And from the error of their way 
Keep Thine own congregation. 
The wicked everywhere abound 
And would Thy little flock confound; 
But Thou art our Salvation.
