Bruiser of the Serpent's Head

Verse 1

The victory's won, And Satan is down; We now overcome, His kingdom disown: The seed of the woman Hath bruised his head, Hath made us that new man, Which love had decreed.

Verse 2

In Adam we lost Our Eden by sin; But we now, thro' Christ, Again are brought in: The vail it is torn, And paradise gain'd: The Father hath sworn; His promise shall stand.

Verse 3

Our nature's releas'd From sin, death, and hell; Jehovah is pleas'd With man for to dwell: A fit habitation, In spirit, for God; A blest, new creation, Pronounc'd very good.

Verse 4

We mourn not the hour That Adam did fall, When his will and pow'r Was forfeited all; Nor are we now grieved, His glory and crown Could not be retrieved By works of his own.

Verse 5

It was on this ground, The myst'ry of grace Did much more abound, When Jesus took place Of man, the offender, To die as for sin; And righteousness render Complete, and brought in.

Verse 6

By this was made known God's nature as love: This we, in his Son, Forever shall prove. By means of transgression, This grace was reveal'd: This is our confession, A truth God has seal'd.

Verse 7

When Adam was pure, Yet mutable he: In Jesus more sure, Immutable we; More highly exalted In Christ the God-man, Ne'er to be assaulted By Satan again.
