When you suffer Satan’s temptings

When you suffer Satan’s temptings

Pow’rs of darkness gather ’round.

Devils urge you much to slacken

That a crown may not abound

Soldier

stand by grace empowered

Mindful of th’ascended Lord.

Jesus surely conquered Satan;

Bravely wield the Spirit’s sword.

Though your friends shrink back and tremble

One with Satan silently

Neighbors ridicule

reviling

Siding with the enemy

When the world shows ease and pleasure

Sets for you a blissful net

When you face vainglory’s offer

When you stumble

faith forget

When the family’s load is heavy

Naught of natural strength avails

Suffering losses inward

outward

Even labor’s profit fails

Soon the battle will be over

Satan’s forces will be turned.

Soon the Church will hear the trumpet

Glory and triumph is earned.

Now the King returns in triumph

Rules the world by God’s decree;

Now all nations bow before Him

Praising Jesus reverently.
