In Eden's garden, Satan thought

1288

	1.	In Eden's garden, Satan thought
		He'd wreck the Lord's intention.
		And so, conspiring, then, he wrought
		His subtle intervention.
		To man he entered in,
		Became indwelling sin,
		And by this deed so bad
		He really thought he had
		Undone the Lord completely.
	2.	'Twas all according to God's plan
		To trap the Devil, Satan.
		His sphere of moving narrowed now,
		Man's flesh his habitation;
		Though brilliant was his plan
		To enter into man,
		This man became instead
		The means to bruise his head,
		And finish him forever.
	3.	So Christ put on human flesh-
		An act of wisdom purely.
		And on the cross did thus enmesh
		His foe held so securely.
		Though desperate Satan's plight-
		He fought with all his might;
		But when the morning came
		Christ was alive again,
		And Satan crushed forever.
