Genesis 3: Rise, the woman's conquering Seed

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Rise, the woman's conquering Seed,
Against our common foe,
Bruiser of the serpent's head.
Inflict the mortal blow;
Vengeance on the tempter take.
Adjudged Thine utmost wrath to bear,
Cast into the burning lake,
And bruised for ever there.
