LXIX.
[Who into temptation led]
Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit to be tempted.
Matthew iv. 1.
Our Father which art in heaven—lead us not into temptation.
Luke xi. 2, 4.
Who into temptation led
God's well-beloved Son,
Born to bruise the serpent's head
And tread the tempter down?
Who of final victory
Did the occasion sure afford?
Third of the mysterious three,
That Spirit was the Lord.
Born again, and led by Him,
We are the sons of God,
Own His Deity supreme,
And publish Him abroad,
One with God the Son adore,
One with God the Father praise,
Glorious theme, when time is o'er,
Of everlasting lays.
