Stronger Striver

"Save me, O God, by Thy name, and judge me by Thy strength.... Behold, God is mine Helper.... He hath delivered me out of all trouble" (Psalm 54:1,4,6). "When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils" (Luke 11:21,22).

The strong arm of Satan has met with a stronger;
His prison is plundered; his goods have been spoiled.
The Lord is our Helper, and we are no longer
Beneath the dominion of sin where we toiled.

The armor of Satan is taken away;
The darkness in which he had trusted is gone.
Put on the armor of God's strength and pray;
The night is far spent, and we look for the dawn.
