gabriel s message does away
Select language to translate this lyric
Gabriel's message does away
Satan's curse and Satan's sway,
Out of darkness brings our Day:
So, behold,
All the gates of heaven unfold.
He that comes despised shall reign;
He that cannot die, be slain;
Death by death its death shall gain:
So, behold,
All the gates of heaven unfold.
Weakness shall the strong confound;
By the hands, in grave-clothes wound,
Adam's chains shall be unbound:
So, behold,
All the gates of heaven unfold.
By the sword that was his own,
By that sword, and that alone,
Shall Goliath be o'erthrown:
So, behold,
All the gates of heaven unfold.
Art by art shall be assailed;
To the cross shall Life be nailed;
From the grave shall hope be hailed:
So, behold,
All the gates of heaven unfold.
