III. “Gabriel's message does away.”
1
Gabriel's message does awaySatan's curse and Satan's sway:
This was wrought by Christmas Day:
Therefore sing, Glory to the Infant King!
2
He that comes despis'd shall reign;He that cannot die, be slain;
10
Therefore sing, Glory to the Infant King!
3
Like its like shall overthrow:By a tree prevail'd the Foe;
From a Tree shall healing grow:
Therefore sing, Glory to the Infant King:
11
4
Man was lost a garden in:In a garden man shall win;
Woman's faith end Woman's sin:
Therefore sing, Glory to the Infant King!
5
Weakness shall the strong confound;By the hands, in babe-clothes wound,
Adam's chains shall be unbound;
12
6
By the sword that was his own,By that sword, and that alone,
Shall Goliath be o'erthrown:
Therefore sing, Glory to the Infant King!
7
Art by art shall be assail'd;To the Cross shall life be nail'd;
13
Therefore sing, Glory to the Infant King!
8
Gabriel's message does awaySatan's curse and Satan's sway;
This was wrought by Christmas day:
Therefore sing, Glory to the Infant King!
