Now Satan comes with dreadful roar
And threatens to destroy
He worries whom he can’t devour
With a malicious joy
Ye sons of God, oppose his rage
Resist, and he’ll be gone
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone
Now he appears almost divine
Like innocence and love
But the old serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove
Fly from the false deceiver’s tongue
Ye sons of Adam, fly
Our parents found the snare too strong
Nor should the children try
Now he appears almost divine
Like innocence and love
But the older serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove
Now Satan comes with dreadful roar
And threatens to destroy
He worries whom he can’t devour
With a malicious joy
Ye sons of God, oppose his rage
Resist, and he’ll be gone
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone
Him alone
