Which Bid, My Brother?

The Sav­ior and Satan

my bro­ther

Each of­fer a price for thy soul;

Desiring just now to pos­sess it

In or­der thy life to con­trol.

Which bid

my bro­ther?

Which bid

my bro­ther?

Which bid are you go­ing to take?

The Sav­ior and Satan each of­fer

Which bid are you go­ing to take?

One of­fers thee rich­es al­lur­ing

Which tempt thee to gra­ti­fy pride;

The oth­er to all His co­work­ers

Permission to toil by His side.

One of­fers thee plea­sures en­tic­ing

Which sa­tis­fy car­nal de­sires

The oth­er to lead up the path­way

E’er sought by the soul that as­pires.

One of­fers thee earth­ly en­chant­ments

In ev­en ex­change for thy soul;

The oth­er His life-blood hath giv­en

With Heav­en at last for thy goal.
