[Tried is every faithful man]

I will bring the third part through the fire, &c. —xiii. 9.

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 favourite name impress'd,
Thy favourite name of Love.
