[When Satan fails the souls to shake]
Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city, &c.
—iv. 5.
When Satan fails the souls to shake
Who in their God confide,
Sudden he changes his attack,
And urges them to pride:
He tempts them in the holy place,
That lifted up with joy,
And trusting in their gifts or grace,
They may themselves destroy.
Who in their God confide,
Sudden he changes his attack,
And urges them to pride:
He tempts them in the holy place,
That lifted up with joy,
And trusting in their gifts or grace,
They may themselves destroy.
Still to the pinnacle he brings
The men who Jesus know,
Superior to all earthly things
Who see the world below:
Disciples of a tempted Lord
He sets them up on high,
That those who cannot doubt the word
May by presumption die.
