Verse 1
Impotent attempt and vain
Satan from his house t’ expel!
Used, usurp’d by daring man
Jesus’ Name will not avail,
Nothing by itself can do;
Jesus Spirit the power supplies:
Satan mocks a faithless Jew,
All the synagogue defies.
Verse 2
Jesus who divinely know
We his name employ aright,
Confident therein, o’rethrow
All the potentates of night:
Jesus, to the faithful race
Arm’d with thy great Spirit’s power
Satan and his host give place,
Fly their ancient Conqueror.
