Ah! Gabriel, Ah! Gabriel Lyrics

1. Ah! Gabriel, Ah! Gabriel,
Thou truly did'st foreshow
In weal or woe,
For friend or foe,
How God with us, Emmanual
Should stoop from high to low.

2. At Ephrat', At Ephrat',
'Tis Bethlem, 'House of Corn,'
Of glory shorn,
On Christmas-morn,
To save mankind, Alleluy',
The King of bliss is born.

3. Victoria, Victoria!
That Lord, who was full fain,
In scorn and pain,
By Jewry slain,
Cunctipotent in gloria
Now evermo doth reign.
