WRITER HAROLD REID

Forty nights and forty days.
The devil came in all his sin,
Came to tempt even Him.

Said, "I hear tell you're God's Son,

"Up on this mountain, far as You see,
All these things I'll give to Thee

"Worship God and only Him."
The devil left and the Angels came.
He beat the devil at his own game.

He beat the devil at his own game.
