Joshua 11:23: We wrestle not with flesh and blood
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
We wrestle not with flesh and blood,
The world and Satan are subdued.
And can no more molest,
When Christ hath made an end of sin,
And brought His hallow'd people in
To that remaining rest.
Intestine wars and fightings cease,
When Jesus doth with perfect peace
His throne in us maintain.
King of the saints beneath, above,
In all the majesty of love
He shall for ever reign.
