Hymn 1:58. The devil vanquished; or, Michael's war with the dragon, Rev. 12. 7.

1 Let mortal tongues attempt to sing The wars of heaven, when Michael stood Chief general of th' Eternal King, And fought the battles of our God.

2 Against the dragon and his host The armies of the Lord prevail: In vain they rage, in vain they boast, Their courage sinks, their weapons fail.

3 Down to the earth was Satan thrown, Down to the earth his legions fell; Then was the trump of triumph blown, And shook the dreadful deeps of hell.

4 Now is the hour of darkness past, Christ hath assum'd his reigning power; Behold the great accuser cast Down from the skies, to rise no more.

5 'Twas by thy blood immortal Lamb, Thine armies trod the tempter down; 'Twas by thy word and powerful Name, They gain'd the battle and renown.

6 Rejoice, ye heavens; let every star Shine with new glories round the sky; Saints, while ye sing the heavenly war, Raise your Deliverer's name on high.
