In vain the powers of darkness try
To work the church’s ill;
The Friend of sinners reigns on high,
And checks them at his will.
Though mischief in their hearts may dwell,
And on their tongues deceit,
A word of His their pride can quell,
And all their aims defeat.
Let worldlings pant for worldly wealth;
Its worth his people see;
The Lord is their desire and health;
The Lord will strengthen me.
My trust is in his grace alone;
His house shall be my home;
How sweet his mercies past to own,
And hope for more to come!
