Matthew 24:4: Jesus... said,...Take heed that no man deceive yon

Who slights the warning word,
And no deception fears,
Confounds the servants of the Lord
With Satan's messengers:
The prophets old and new.
The saints' and Gnostics dream.
Apostles false, apostles true
Are all alike to him.

Jesus, Thy wisdom give.
And bid my heart beware
That no false witness may deceive,
Or take me in his snare:
O may I ne'er confide
In spirits unproved, unknown,
But trust in my unerring Guide,
And in Thy word alone.
