Deceiv'd by subtil Snares of Hell

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.CVII (1766) Scripture: Genesis 3:1 Lyrics: 1 Deceiv'd by subtil Snares of Hell, Adam, our Head, our Father fell, When Satan, in the Serpent hid, Propos'd the Fruit that God forbid. 2 Death was the Threat'ning; Death began To take Possession of the Man; His unborn Race receiv'd the Wound, And heavy Curses smote the Ground. 3 But Satan found a worse Reward; Thus saith the Vengeance of the Lord Let everlasting Hatred be Betwixt the Woman's Seed and Thee. 4 The Woman's Seed shall be my Son, He shall destroy what thou hast done; Shall break thy Head, and only feel Thy Malice raging at his Heel. [5 He spake; and bid Four Thousand Years Roll on; at length his Son appears: Angels with Joy descend to Earth, And sing the young Redeemer's Birth. 6 Lo, by the Sons of Hell he dies; But as he hung 'twixt Earth and skies, He gave their Prince a fatal Blow, And triumph'd o'er the Pow'rs below.] Topics: Adam His Fall; Curse and Promise; Enmity between Christ and Satan; Fall and Recovery of Man; Hell and Judgment; Promised Messiah born; Promises of the Covenant Languages: English

Blest is the Man who shuns the Place

Their Hopes are blown away like Dust, Or Chaff before the Storm. 6 Sinners in Judgment shall not stand Amongst the Sons of Grace, When Christ the Judge at his right Hand, Appoints his Saints a Place. 7 His Eye beholds the Path they tread, His Heart approves it well; But crooked Ways of Sinners lead Down to the Gates of Hell.
