Jesus Christ
Of the first man’s disobedience, mankind fell
Through one man’s valour, mankind infallibly rise
From perpetual annihilation through Gates of Hell
Into the eternal ecstasy of the Promised Paradise
Long ago, the Serpent his senile stratagem had begun
To deprive Adam of the satiable Garden of Eden
Out to terrace the Earth, to thresh beneath the Sun
Lest, Man attains the supreme height of Heaven
But the Sovereign Father who knows far omniscient
Had foreseen this doom ere its appointed season
Prompted by His humane heart came Christ omnipotent
To redeem Man of Lucifer’s high treason
Nothing worldly did Him befall
It is this unbroken faith that save us all.
