Genesis 3:15: It shall bruise thy head

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Awake, the woman's heavenly Seed,
Thou Bruiser of the serpent's head.
Redeem Thy creature from his fall,
And crush the fiend that crush'd us all,
That author of our total ill,
That poisoner of the human mind,
hom in our inmost souls we feel.
Destroy him out of all mankind.
