But as ye have once rejected these things, and have fought against the people of the Lord, even so I may expect you will do it again.
The devil does not like to lose a member of his clan;
he'll offer up soft words and richest pleasures, if he can.
He uses ev'ry artifice to conjure up a fraud,
to make us think we cannot, should not, go back to our God.
He paints a chilling picture of just how we'll be received,
to keep us from returning to those we have sorely grieved.
But he is a mere trickster, and can offer nothing firm
to anyone -- except the guarantee to make us squirm.
Take it from a sinner who made quite a full return;
coming back's a chance a great new happiness to learn!
