[Impotent attempt and vain]

Impotent attempt and vain,
Satan from his house to' expel!
Used, usurp'd by daring man
Jesus' name will not avail,
Nothing by itself can do;
Jesu's Spirit the power supplies,
Satan mocks a faithless Jew,
All the synagogue defies.
Satan from his house to' expel!
Used, usurp'd by daring man
Jesus' name will not avail,
Nothing by itself can do;
Jesu's Spirit the power supplies,
Satan mocks a faithless Jew,
All the synagogue defies.
Jesus who divinely know
We His name employ aright,
Confident therein o'erthrow
All the potentates of night:
Jesus, to the faithful race
Arm'd with Thy great Spirit's power
Satan and his host give place,
Fly their ancient Conqueror.

All the potentates of night:
Jesus, to the faithful race
Arm'd with Thy great Spirit's power
Satan and his host give place,
Fly their ancient Conqueror.
