Mark 3: When Satan rules the simple heart

When Satan rules the simple heart,
Jesus alone can drive him thence:
Jesus, Thy Spirit's power exert,
Bring in Thy- love's omnipotence,
The fiend out of my soul to chase,
And plant Thy kingdom in its place.

The strong man arm'd this moment bind,
The bold usurper of Thy throne,
His armour seize, the carnal mind.
The unbelieving heart of stone.
Out of my flesh the evil tear.
And pluck my soul out of the snare.

My soul redeem'd from Satan's toils
Now for Thy lawful captive claim,
Stir up Thy strength and take the spoils,
Thy double property I am,
Mark'd with Thy name, the goods are Thine,
Thy work, and bought with blood Divine.
