A book by John Bunyan about his journey to the Celestial City.
{Verse 243}

But as for Christian, he had some respite, and was remanded back to prison. So he there remained for a space; but He that overrules all things, having the power of their rage in his own hand, so wrought it about, that Christian for that time escaped them, and went his way. And as he went, he sang, saying--

Well, Faithful, thou hast faithfully profest

 Unto thy Lord; with whom thou shalt be blest,

 When faithless ones, with all their vain delights,

 Are crying out under their hellish plights:

 Sing, Faithful, sing, and let thy name survive;

 For though they kill'd thee, thou art yet alive!
