The quote is from the Malleus Maleficarum, which is presumably also what “the witch hammer” refers to. Assuming that ‘him’ is in reference to Satan. That is the witch will be safe or at least be able to extract vengeance as long as they remain loyal to Satan.

Stand by Him Lyrics
[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus]
The Devil's power is the greatest one
When his' and hers' holiest shuns the sun
A temptress' smitten by the blackest force
A vicar bitten blind in intercourse
[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
The witch hammer struck her down
On our Sabbath, she's unbound
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
'Tis the night of the witch, 'tis the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
'Tis the night of the witch, 'tis the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
[Bridge: Papa Emeritus]
All witchcraft comes from carnal lust
Which is in women insatiable
[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus]
A moon shone brightly above her trial
As flames ate through her body defiled
[Pre-Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
The witch hammer struck her down
On our Sabbath, she's unbound
[Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
'Tis the night of the witch, 'tis the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him
'Tis the night of the witch, 'tis the night of the witch tonight
And the vengeance is hers' for as long as she stands by him

How did the song come to be?
The song was originally written with Swedish lyrics. Tobias Forge called his friend Gustaf Lindström to help him record it since the two had played together in the short-lived death-metal outfit Repugnant, which at one point also included future members of In Solitude and Tribulation.
