Matthew 4:6: He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee, &c

Us in their hands the angels bear
In all our lawful ways:
But shall we from His precepts err.
And tempt the God of grace?
Ourselves as from the summit cast.
The' appointed means neglect.
And think we hold His promise fast
Who His command reject?

In vain the promise of our Lord
The disobedient pleads,
God never contradicts His word.
Or wills what He forbids:
Father, Thy whole recorded will
Doth every part explain,
And none but who the terms fulfil
The promised good shall gain.
