MANY times since days of youth,

MANY times since days of youth, Foes devoid of love and truth Afflict me day by day; Yet they never can prevail, God defends His people still; Jesus' power can never fail To save from all that's ill.

God hath Zion set apart For His abiding place; Sons of wrath and guileful art He'll banish from His face: God for Israel doth fight; Israel, on Thy God depend; Christ shall keep thee day and night, Till all thy troubles end.
