1.Gabriel's message does away
Satan'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 sall reign;
He that cannot die, be slain;
Death by death its death sall gain:
Therefore sing:—
Glory to the Infant King!
3.Like its like shall overthrow:
By a tree prevail'd the Foe;
From a Tree sall healing grow:
Therefore sing,—
Glory to the Infant King:
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.Wakness shall the strong confound;
By the hands, in babe-clothes wound,
Adam's chains shall be unbound;
Therefore sing,—
Glory to the Infant King!
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;
From the grave shall hope be hail'd:
Therefore sing,—
Glory to the Infant King!
8.Gabriel's message does away
Satan's curse and Satan's sway;
This was wrought by Christmas day:
Therefore sing,—
Glory to the Infant King!
