('Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us')
Matthew 4 v.8-11
*******
In temptation, the devil took
Jesus up mount, made Him look
It an exceeding high mountain
He was able to see then
All the kingdoms of the world known
And the glory of them shown
The devil said to Him, All these
I will give, if you appease
If you will fall down before me
And worship me, then, I, see
Shall give you them all, this one thing
Do, and I shall each you bring
Then said Jesus to Him, Get you
Hence, Satan, although I view
All this, it is written, You shall
Worship the Lord your God, tell
The Scriptures, and Him only shall
You serve, you too know this well
Then the devil left Him, behold
Angels came to help, 'tis told
To minister to Him, for sure
Season of temptation o'er
Help us, Lord, not earthly glory
Seek, but your kingdom e'ermore
Strengthened, sustained, and supported
By the Spirit you were led
Into wilderness forty days
And forty nights, that your stay
Guide us through this world's wilderness
To worship you, you confess
