Deceiv'd by subtil Snares of Hell
Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 4:4 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

Delights of assurance
Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-1887 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 4:4-5 Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
with exultation springing,
and with united heart and voice
and holy rapture singing,
proclaim the wonders God has done,
how his right arm the vict'ry won.
How dearly it has cost him!
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay;
death brooded darkly o'er me.
Sin was my torment night and day;
in sin my mother bore me.
Yet deep and deeper still I fell;
life had became a living hell,
so firmly sin possessed me.
3 My own good works availed me naught,
no merit they attaining;
my will against God's judgment fought,
no hope for me remaining.
My fears increased till sheer despair
left only death to be my share
and hell to be my sentence.
4 But God beheld my wretched state
before the world's foundation,
and, mindful of his mercies great,
he planned for my salvation.
A father's heart he turned to me,
sought my redemption fervently;
he gave his dearest treasure.
5 He spoke to his belovèd Son:
"It's time to have compassion.
Then go, bright jewel of my crown,
and bring to all salvation.
From sin and sorrow set them free;
slay bitter death for them that they
may live with you forever."
6 The Son obeyed his Father's will,
was born of virgin mother,
and, God's good pleasure to fulfill,
he came to be my brother.
No garb of pomp or pow'r he wore;
a servant's form like mine he bore
to lead the devil captive.
7 To me he spoke, "Hold fast to me,
I am your rock and castle.
Your ransom I myself will be;
for you I strive and wrestle.
For I am yours, your friend divine,
and evermore you shall be mine;
the foe shall not divide us.
8 "The foe will shed my precious blood,
me of my life bereaving;
all this I suffer for your good;
be steadfast and believing.
Life will from death the vict'ry win;
my innocence shall bear your sin,
and you are blest forever.
9 "Now to my Father I depart,
the Holy Spirit sending
and, heav'nly wisdom to impart,
my help to you extending.
He will a source of comfort be,
teach you to know and follow me,
and in all truth will guide you.
10 "What I on earth have lived and taught
be all your life and teaching;
so shall the kingdom's work be wrought
and honored in your preaching.
Take care that no one's man-made laws
should e'er destroy the gospel's cause;
this final word I leave you." Topics: Justification Used With Tune: NUN FREUT EUCH
