Sin Has a Thousand Treacherous Arts (EN 4939)

EN 4939 Sin Has a Thousand Treacherous Arts

1Cor.15.56

Versi Version 1

1

Sin has a thousand treacherous arts

To practice on the mind;

With flattering looks she tempts our hearts,

But leaves a sting behind.

2

With names of virtue she deceives

The aged and the young;

And while the heedless wretch believes,

She makes his fetters strong.

3

She pleads for all the joys she brings,

And gives a fair pretense;

But cheats the soul of heav’nly things,

And chains it down to sense.

4

So on a tree divinely fair

Grew the forbidden food;

Our mother took the poison there

And tainted all her blood.
