1288  SPIRITUAL WARFARE — By the Lord's Victory

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.
