1 Now Satan comes with dreadful roar,
And threatens to destroy;
He worries whom he can't devour,
With a malicious joy.
2 Ye sons of God, oppose his rage;
Resist, and he'll be gone;
Thus did our dearest Lord engage,
And vanquish him alone.
3 Now he appears almost divine,
Like innocence and love;
But the old serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove.
4 Fly from the false deceiver's tongue,
Ye sons of Adam, fly;
Our parents found the snare too strong,
Nor should the children try.
