Oft is the elder form, and it was plain English until the longer one pushed it aside; it survives now in verse, in proverbs and in compounds such as oft-quoted. A writer reaches for it when a line will not carry the extra syllable, which is the same reason it lasted in hymns long after it left ordinary speech.
