LyicsHow often sin and Satan strove,
To rend my soul from thee, my God;
But everlasting is thy love,
And Jesus seals it with his blood.
The oath and promise of the Lord,
Join to confirm the wondrous grace;
Eternal power performs the word,
And fills all heaven with endless praise.
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.
The gospel bears my spirit up;
A faithful and unchanging God
Lays the foundation of my hope,
In oaths and promises and blood.
