Text:How oft have Sin and Satan strove

I.CXXXIX. How oft have Sin and Satan strove

1 How oft have Sin and Satan strove
To rend my Soul from Thee, my God!
But everlasting is thy Love,
And Jesus seals it with his Blood.

2 The Oath and Promise of the Lord,
Join to confirm the wond'rous Grace;
Eternal Pow'r performs the Word,
And fills all Heav'n with endless Praise.

3 Amidst Temptations sharp and long,
My Soul to this dear Refuge flies;
Hope is my Anchor, firm and strong,
While Tempests blow, and billows rise.

4 The Gospel bears my Spirit up;
A faithful and unchanging God
Lays the Foundation for my Hope
In Oaths, and Promises, and Blood.
