Flesh and Spirit. Gal. 5. 17; Rom. 7. 15-25

1 The new man and the old
  By no means can agree;
  The one in sin is bold,
  From sin the other’s free.
  The principles of grace and sin
  A constant warfare must maintain.

2 [One loves to watch and pray,
  And walk in Jesus’ path;
  The other hates the way,
  And loves the road to death;
  Christ is the new man’s boast and joy;
  Flesh does the old man satisfy.]

3 Christ, and him crucified,
  The new man loves to view;
  Lust, vanity and pride,
  The old man will pursue;
  One pants with God to live and reign;
  The other hates his sovereign name.

4 The principle of grace
  On Jesus puts the crown;
  But sin, with shameless face,
  Would pull his glory down.
  Jesus shall reign, the new man cries;
  His right to reign the flesh denies.

5 Well, let old nature toil;
  The warfare can’t be long;
  And Christians, with a smile,
  Shall sing the conqueror’s song;
  Through Christ we shall victorious prove,
  And live and reign with him above.
