Verse 1
Now Satan comes with dreadful roar,
And threatens to destroy;
He worries whom he can’t devour
With a malicious joy.
Verse 2
Ye sons of God, oppose his rage,
Resist, and he’ll be gone;
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone.
Verse 3
Now he appears almost divine
Like innocence and love,
But the old serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove.
Verse 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.
Isaac Watts, “Now Satan Comes with Dreadful Roar”
