Temptation
Our great Father in Heav'n,
We are imperfect men.
Save us each waking breath
From the power of sin.
As your Son taught to pray,
Lead us not to the tempter;
But if tempt us he may,
Save us by royal scepter.
By that rod, by that staff,
Strike the serpent of old;
For we are but weak sheep
In your eternal fold.
If the tempter attacks,
With patience doing right
Let us count it all joy,
For Christ’s burden is light.
May the blaze ever grow
And dross float ever higher,
So the rot burns away
And our gold shines like fire,
A great light for the showing,
Bright and not to be hid.
To our Savior, th’unknowing
By our works may we bid.
