Matthew 22:15: Hell's ministei"s by Satan taught
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Hell's ministei"s by Satan taught.
They just for a short season leave,
That in an hour unguarded caught
They may more easily deceive,
Tempt them to sin, by fraud prevail,
And thus destroy their souls in hell.
l"he world would by my words ensnare:
O may I to my words take heed!
Help, Lord, who saidst of men " Beware,"
So shall I circumspectly tread.
Watch unto prayer; and humbly wise,
And kept by Thee, defy surprise.
