Which Bid, My Brother?

Author: Cora M. Turrell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11176 First Line: The Savior and Satan, my brother Lyrics: 1 The Savior and Satan, my brother, Each offer a price for thy soul; Desiring just now to possess it, In order thy life to control. Refrain: Which bid, my brother? Which bid, my brother? Which bid are you going to take? The Savior and Satan each offer, Which bid are you going to take? 2 One offers thee riches alluring, Which tempt thee to gratify pride; The other to all His coworkers, Permission to toil by His side. [Refrain] 3 One offers thee pleasures enticing, Which satisfy carnal desires, The other to lead up the pathway, E’er sought by the soul that aspires. [Refrain] 4 One offers thee earthly enchantments, In even exchange for thy soul; The other His life-blood hath given, With Heaven at last for thy goal. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The Savior and Satan, my brother]
