The fall and recovery of man; or,
Christ and Satan at enmity.
Gen. 3:1,15,17;
Gal. 4:4;
Col. 2:15.
Deceived by subtle snares of hell,
Adam, our head, our father, fell;
When Satan, in the serpent hid,
Proposed the fruit that God forbid.
Death was the threat'ning: death
To take possession of the
His unborn race received the wound,
And heavy curses smote the ground.
But Satan found a worse reward;
Thus saith the vengeance of the Lord"Let everlasting hatred
Betwixt the woman's seed and thee."The woman's seed shall be my Son;
He shall destroy what thou hast done;
Shall break thy head, and only
Thy malice raging at his heel."He spake; and bid four thousand
Roll on; at length his Son appears;
Angels with joy descend to earth,
And sing the young Redeemer's birth.
Lo, by the sons of hell he dies;
But as he hung 'twixt earth and skies,
He gave their prince a fatal blow,
And triumphed o'er the powers below.]
