1. In Eden's garden, Satan thought He'd wreck the Lord's intention. And so, conspiring, then, he wrought His subtle intervention. To man he entered in, Became indwelling sin, And by this deed so bad He really thought he had Undone the Lord completely. 2. 'Twas all according to God's plan To trap the Devil, Satan. His sphere of moving narrowed now, Man's flesh his habitation; Though brilliant was his plan To enter into man, This man became instead The means to bruise his head, And finish him forever. 3. So Christ put on human flesh— An act of wisdom purely. And on the cross did thus enmesh His foe held so securely. Though desperate Satan's plight— He fought with all his might; But when the morning came Christ was alive again, And Satan crushed forever.
