From An Old Christmas Song

To be a child of man

Down to the earth God came,

He came to make anew the life.

And death he came to conquer-

For this sang all creation

And earth and heaven rejoiced.

Then in all lands are loosened

The chains and bonds of evil,

Then breaketh every spell.

Light cometh into darkness,

The old rule then is shattered,

In glory comes His Kingdom.
