Herodians and Pharisees

Paul Henkel • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 83

Verse 1

Herodians and Pharisees, They join with one accord; And as united enemies, Seek to destroy our Lord.

Verse 2

Tho' they applaud him to his face, And seem to take his part: They like a false and viper race, Hate him with all their heart.

Verse 3

Where Satan governs all the mind, And rules the inward man; there are the pow'rs of darkness join'd to do what harm they can.

Verse 4

All Christian must be on their guard, And wrath on ev'ry hand; They must be tempted like our Lord, By Satan and his band.

Verse 5

But Christ, their great and mighty head, Who all their danger knows; Will disappoint what snares are laid By them, their crafty foes.
