Mark 13: False Christs and false prophets shall rise, &c

Who earth and heaven and hell commands
Shall guard His own elect,
(That fall into seducers' hands,)
And all their paths direct:
His goodness will not let them stray,
But soon the fiend remove,
And keep them in the narrow way
Of humble patient love.

Great things in the Satanic hour
Delusion's sons may do,
Vaunt of their hapi iness and power.
And pass for prophets true:
But, one short moment turn'd aside,
We think of Jesus' word.
Fly back to our unerring Guide,
And faster grasp our Lord.
