Luke 4:6: Insolent lie against the Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Insolent lie against the Lord!
Go thou blaspheming fiend abhorr'd
With fellow fiends to dwell!
All power is given to Him alone,
Who cast thee flaming from a throne
To the profoundest hell.
Jesus, the power and kingdom's Thine:
Thy sovereign providence Divine
We thankfully declare:
Thou castest down and liftest up;
And through Thy only grace we hope
Thy heavenly throne to share.
