The
voice that night and day accused
Our
souls deserving condemnation
Is
now confronted and refused
By
Christ the Captain of salvation!
The
devil wanted heaven’s crown
With
demons who would take his side.
But
he has surely been cast down,
Humiliated
by his pride.
And
yet his voice has not been stilled,
Though
he from heaven has been banned,
His
mouth with blasphemy is filled,
And
his reproach pollutes our land.
He
knows his time on earth is short,
And
that there’s little time to act.
So
even now he will resort
To
shaming those he has attacked.
We
surely ought to be acquainted
With
this satanic strategy:
When
testimonies have been tainted
He
points to our hypocrisy.
And
thus he still reproaches God
When
we by sin have been enticed,
Accusing
us to show how flawed
The
people are who trust in Christ.
Enough! Enough!
Now hear the voice
Of
God who calls us to be wise!
Let
His own heart in us rejoice
To
answer thus the devil’s lies!
O
Lord, our days on earth are few;
So
short by Your eternal measure!
May
we redeem the time for You
With
this one rule: to give You pleasure!
