[Let not the follower of the Lord]

Again, the devil taketh Him. —iv. 8.

Let not the follower of the Lord
Think all temptation pass'd,
The most severe, and most abhorr'd
May buffet him at last;

155

Satan, before his warfare end,
The hoary saint may try,
May tempt him to adore the fiend,
To curse his God and die.
