Religion
Matthew 4:6: Cast Thyself down
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
By Satan, or his instrument
I cannot be compell'd;
They may solicit my consent,
And I refuse to yield.
Firmly resist, enticed in vain.
To Christ the tempted fly,
And all the wiles of hell disdain,
And all the strength defy.
