Demons Dispelled

"Thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong" (Joshua 17:18).  "The rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous" (Psalm 125:3).  "The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil" (Proverbs 19:23).  "Then they… came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind" (Luke 8:35). 

When Joshua dispelled all doubt

Regarding foes within the land,

He said that they would drive them out

Because it was the Lord's command. 

Though Satan's hordes are surely strong,

They are no match for Christ our God. 

The Devil taunts us all day long,

But God dispels his wicked rod. 

It's wise to fear the Lord alone,

Who died and rose on our behalf.   

The demons tremble, having known

That they shall be dispelled as chaff. 

How gladly, Lord, we have beheld 

That joyful man before you seated

From whom the demons were dispelled,

For thus we see ourselves completed!
