Full Text

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. Art by art shall be assailed;
to the cross shall Life be nailed;
from the grave shall hope be hailed: (Refrain)
