The Wall and the Hedge
Hast not thou made an hedge about him...on every side?...
Job 1:10
"The devil may wall you around, but he cannot roof you in."
Dan Crawford
The devil may wall you round
But he cannot roof you in;
He may fetter your feet and tie your hands
And strive to hamper your soul with bands
As his way has always been;
But he cannot hide the face of God,
And the Lord shall be your Light,
And your eyes and your thoughts can rise to the sky,
Where His clouds and His winds and His birds go by,
And His stars shine out at night.
The devil may wall you round;
He may rob you of all things dear...

But he cannot roof you in;
He may fetter your feet and tie your hands
And strive to hamper your soul with bands
As his way has always been;
But he cannot hide the face of God,
And the Lord shall be your Light,
And your eyes and your thoughts can rise to the sky,
Where His clouds and His winds and His birds go by,
And His stars shine out at night.
The devil may wall you round;
He may rob you of all things dear...
