Religion
Luke 22:31: Still our adversary's nigh
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Still our adversary's nigh
In every place and hour,
Eager still to tempt and try
And sift us, and devour:
But before he can o'erthrow,
Or once endeavour to deceive.
The malicious fiend we know
Must ask our Saviour's leave.
