Religion

Matthew 4:4: lie answered and said, It is written

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Teach me, O Lord, to fight like Thee;
With weapons from Thine armoury
The foe I then shall quell,
Skilful to use Thy two-edged sword.
Victorious through Thy written word
O'er all the powers of hell.
