The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6536

6536. Tempted and Tried

1. Tempted and tried! Oh! the terrible tide
May be raging and deep, may be wrathful and wide!
Yet its fury is vain, for the Lord shall restrain,
And forever and ever Jehovah shall reign.

Refrain
Tempted and tried, yet the Lord at thy side,
Shall guide thee, and keep thee,
Though tempted and tried.

2. Tempted and tried, there is One at thy side,
And never in vain shall His children confide!
He shall save and defend, for He loves to the end,
Adorable master and glorious friend! [Refrain]

3. Tempted and tried whate’er may betide,
In His secret pavilion His children shall hide,
’Neath the shadowing wing of eternity’s king,
His children shall trust, and His servants shall sing. [Refrain]

4. Tempted and tried! Yet the Lord will abide,
Thy faithful Redeemer, thy keeper, and guide,
Thy shield and thy sword, thine exceeding reward,
Then enough for the servant to be as his Lord. [Refrain]

5. Tempted and tried, the Savior who died,
Hath called thee to suffer and reign by His side,
His cross thou shalt bear, and His crown thou shalt wear,
And forever and ever His glory shalt share. [Refrain]
