The Three Enemies: 03 - The Devil

“Thou drinkest deep.”
“When Christ would sup
He drain'd the dregs from out my cup:
So how should I be lifted up?”

“Thou shalt win Glory.”
“In the skies,
Lord Jesus, cover up mine eyes
Lest they should look on vanities.”

“Thou shalt have Knowledge.”
“Helpless dust!
In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust:
Answer Thou for me, Wise and Just.”

“And Might.”-
“Get thee behind me. Lord,
Who hast redeem'd and not abhorr'd
My soul, oh keep it by Thy Word.”
