O My Old, My Bosom Foe,
Rejoice Not Over Me!
Oft-Times Thou Hast Laid Me Low,
And Wounded Mortally;
Yet Thy Prey Thou Couldst Not Keep;
Jesus, When I Lowest Fell,
Heard Me Cry Out Of The Deep,
And Brought Me Up From Hell.
Foolish World, Thy Shouts Forbear;
Till Thou Hast Won The Day;
Could Thy Wisdom Keep Me There,
When In Thy Hands I Lay?
If My Heart To Thee Incline,
Christ Again Shall Set It Free;
I Am His, And He Is Mine
To All Eternity.
Satan, Cease Thy Empty Boast,
And Give Thy Triumphs O’er;
Still Thou Seest I Am Not Lost,
While Jesus Can Restore,
Though Through Thy Deceit I Fall,
Surely I Shall Rise Again,
Christ My King Is Over All,
And I With Him Shall Reign.
O My Three-Fold Enemy,
To Whom I Long Did Bow,
See Your Lawful Captive, See,
No More Your Captive Now!
Now Before My Face Ye Fly;
More Than Conqueror Now I Am;
Sin, The World, And Hell Defy,
In Jesu’s Powerful Name.
