Note 20 — Chapter X · QUIET DAYS
H. G. De Walterstorff translation
And if the world with devils teemed, All watching to devour us, Yet are our hearts from fear redeemed, Not they can overpower us! And let the Prince of Ill Look grim as e’er he will, He harms us not one whit— For why? His doom is writ; A Word shall quickly slay him.
