THE DEVIL.

Christina Georgina Rossetti

“Thou drinkest deep.” “When Christ would sup He drained the dregs from out my cup: So how should I be lifted up?”

“Thou shalt win Glory.” “In the skies, Lord Jesus, cover up mine eyes Lest they should look on vanities.”

“Thou shalt have Knowledge.” “Helpless dust, In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust: Answer Thou for me, Wise and Just.”

“And Might.” “Get thee behind me. Lord, Who hast redeemed and not abhorred My soul, O keep it by Thy Word.”
