Satan’s crafty, sly and slick,
and distracts with many a trick
from God’s Word and into lie,
– novel rituals he’ll supply,
or revive the old or ancient,
– anything to supplement
and soon smother revelation,
truth of God for every nation:
so be ready, and aware
of the things that can ensnare.
Do we cherish some tradition
inessential as condition
for true fellowship, or even
introduce lies, toxic leaven?
Communicate God’s Word alone
to whoever has not known.
