IN vain the powers of darkness try

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

3 Verses Friend Of Sinners

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

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.
