To put an end to all godless teaching and causes of offense;

To bring into the way of truth all who have erred and are deceived;

To beat down Satan under our feet; To send faithful laborers into Your

harvest;

To accompany Your Word with Your Spirit and grace;

To raise up those who fall, and to strengthen those who stand;

And to comfort and help the faint-hearted and the distressed:

We beseech You to hear us, good Lord * Depart, Depart Thou Prince…

Meditation

Though Devils All the World… 250: 3-4

Benediction * Postlude Job 2: 2-3 And the Lord said to Satan, "From

where do you come?" Satan answered the Lord and said, "From going to

and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." Then the

Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is

none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears

God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although

you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause." Matthew 4:

8-11 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and

showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said

to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and

worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is

written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall

serve.'" Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and

ministered to Him.
