You can find this in Gadsby, #245. It comes from The Gospel Magazine, 1799. Red Mountain Church has a tune for it. I took a couple lines from the last stanza and made it the chorus. We sing it to the tune, THE SOLID ROCK....
The Christian’s hope
We travel through a barren land
with dangers thick on ev'ry hand
But Jesus guides us through the vale
the Christian's hope can never fail
We trust upon the sacred word, the oath and promise of our Lord, the oath and promise of our Lord
Huge sorrows meet us as we go
We trust upon the sacred word, the oath and promise of our Lord, the oath and promise of our Lord
Huge sorrows meet us as we go
and devils aim our overthrow
but vile infernals can't prevail
but vile infernals can't prevail
the Christian's hope shall never fail
Sometimes we're tempted to despair
Sometimes we're tempted to despair
but Jesus makes us then his care
though numerous foes our souls assail
though numerous foes our souls assail
the Christian's hope shall never fail
