Judges 16:3: See the great Antitype arise
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
See the great Antitype arise,
While darkness yet involves the skies.
His Israel from their foes to save.
He bursts the barriers of the grave.
Puts forth His strength invincible,
And tears up all the gates of hell!
Triumphant o'er His baffled foes,
The trophies openly He shows:
And daily, in His people's cause.
He spreads the victory of His cross.
And still He takes the spoils, and still
He bears them up the heavenly hill!
