Luke 4:37: Satan once the body tore
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Satan once the body tore;
Still he rules the faithless soul.
But the Spirit's stronger power
Doth the murderer's rage control:
Spread Thy fame through every place,
Jesus now the' usurper bind,
Vindicate the ransom'd race,
Cast him out of all mankind.
