CHAPTER XXII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1539.
[Still our adversary's nigh]
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired, &c.
—xxii. 31.
Still our adversary's nigh
In every place and hour,
Eager still to tempt and try
And sift us, and devour:
But before he can o'erthrow,
Or once endeavour to deceive,
The malicious fiend we know
Must ask our Saviour's leave.
