When
the world is crowded out, and the flesh is underfoot,

And
the Tempter is sent backward by the Word,

Then
the Spirit has control, over thought and word and soul,

Only
then it is that we can wield the sword.

Then
the subject mind can say to the Spirit, “Have full sway!”

And
the peace of God will rule in sweet accord,

And
the emptied heart say “Come,” for no other is there room,

But
the Father, Son, and Spirit, and the Word.
