A Hymn for Some Saints in the Church

I have searched for and found a good song to dedicate to a list of fellows who follow Jesus Christ faithfully and and have been maligned because of it:

Rev. Jim Berkley
Rev Jim Yearsley
Rev. L. Rus Howard
Rev. David Perry
Rev. James Coone
Rev. Robert Kopp
Rev. Jim Tilly
Rev. Toby Brown
Rev. Mark Hughey

I will add to this a Church in my Presbytery, Sierra Presbyterian Church, in Nevada City and they will know why.

These words were written by Hen­ry F. Lyte, who seems to have been a prolific writer of verse.
The song is In Vain the Powers of Darkness Try.

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.

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.

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.
