Acts 13: Satan in his allies withsta

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Satan in his allies withsta
The preaching of that word,
Which sinners plucks out of his hands,
And turns them to the Lord;
Which brings them faith and power to quell
The fury of the foe,
And baffle all the wiles of hell,
And all the strength o'erthrow.

The great are compass'd round by those
Who would their mind pervert,
The truth of saving grace oppose,
And keep out of their heart;
But few amidst the world, desire
To find apostles near,
Or prudently resolve to' inquire,
And for themselves to hear.
