Luke 4: The devils that reign

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

The devils that reign
In the children of men.
From an infidel's heart.
Till a stronger arrive, they will never depart.
But when Jesus draws near.
In their palace they fear.
And horribly cry.
And expell'd by His Avord from their Conqueror fly.
