This worlds dark prince may still
Lower sullen as he Will:
For he can harm nRuEht
lis past His doom Is wrought
One word can bring his DOWNFALL
That Word, for all they do shall stand,
No thanks TO them that jeer it'll

BY his own gift and spirit.

Let them all this begin;
But they can not win;
Gods kingdom yet awaits u.s.
