Demons shudder

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

People laugh at fear of sprites,
ghosts or ghouls, and all such frights …
do they ever really wonder
is there anyone powerful, kinder
who is really in control
of the unknown powers all?

Jesus cast out spirits evil
who were plaguing and were cruel,
and he rescues those who’ve found
they’re in misery now bound
gives his presence, peace and pardon –
all the battles have been won!

Each who in their coffin lies
certainly one day will rise
not to flit around this place
but one day the Christ to face
when he’ll finally complete
all that’s evil’s full defeat.

"You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder." James 2:19

Tune: 77 77 77 eg England’s Lane tune of ’Sing, O sing,this blessed morn! Unto us a Child is born’
