1 Gabriel's message does away
Satan’s curse and Satan’s sway,
Out of darkness brings our Day:

Refrain:
So, behold,
All the gates of heaven unfold.

2 He that comes despised shall reign;
He that cannot die, be slain;
Death by death its death shall gain: [Refrain]

3 Weakness shall the strong confound;
By the hands, in grave-clothes wound,
Adam’s chains shall be unbound: [Refrain]

4 By the sword that was his own,
By that sword, and that alone,
Shall Goliath be o'erthrown: [Refrain]

5 Art by art shall be assailed;
To the cross shall Life be nailed:
From the grave shall hope be hailed: [Refrain]
