16240. Satan, By Artifice And Fraud

1 Satan, by ar­ti­fice and fraud,
Unwary souls de­coys;
Draws the af­fect­ions off from God,
Allures, and then de­stroys.

2 With sub­tle art he spreads the net,
Ye saints, in time be­ware;
Be cir­cum­spect, and guard your feet
Against the dan­ger­ous snare.

3 Though he as­sumes an an­gel’s face,
As oft­en­times he will;
Yet swift­ly flee this foe to peace,
For he is Sa­tan still.

4 To God ap­proach by fer­vent pray­er,
And His as­sist­ance crave;
Then will He make your souls His care,
Who migh­ty is to save.
