Deceived by Subtle Snares of Hell

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Deceived by subtle snares of hell, Adam, our head, our father, fell; When Satan, in the serpent hid, Proposed the fruit that God forbid. 2. Death was the threatening: death began To take possession of the man; His unborn race received the wound, And heavy curses smote the ground. 3. But Satan found a worse reward: Thus saith the vengeance of the Lord: “Let everlasting hatred be Betwixt the woman’s seed and thee. 4. The woman’s seed shall be my Son; He shall destroy what thou hast done; Shall break thy head, and only feel Thy malice raging at His heel. 5. He spake; and bid four thousand years Roll on; at length His Son appears; Angels with joy descend to earth, And sing the young Redeemer’s birth. 6. Lo, by the sons of hell He dies; But as He hung ’twixt earth and skies, He gave their prince a fatal blow, And triumphed o’er the powers below.

Of Zion's honor angels sing!

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Of Zion's honor angels sing! In Zion Christ alone is King; In grace He rules with gentle sway, And leads her heavenward, day by day. 2 And Zion knows no other Lord, But cleaves alone to His pure Word: To her suffices: "Jesus saith!"-- This is her source and rule of faith. 3 To her He gave the Power of Keys, To bind and loose as He decree; Through her He wishes sins forgiven, And sinner made fit heirs of heaven. 4 Hence He apostles, prophets, sent To her, with Word and Sacrament-- And He gives servants of the Word, To serve the Church and Christ her Lord. 5 God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Adored by all the heavenly host, We bow in Zion at Thy throne,-- No other God and Lord we own.
