To the serpent low
Said the king upon his throne
You’ve deceived and lied
My child has gone into exile
But I will go, I will make a way home
And I will bleed like the enemy
In the dark, in the shadows
Light has come
In the quiet, in the dead of night
Glory, glory, sang the angels in the highest
At last, the king has arrived
Out upon the sand
Said the devil: Take my hand
At your bended knee, you will hold everything you see
But the king said: No
I have come to be the spotless lamb undone
And I will fall, but not to you
In the dark, in the shadows
Light has come
In the quiet, in the dead of night
Glory, glory, sang the angels in the highest
At last, the king
Is born to us to overcome exile
Born to us a virgin’s son, this child
Born to give his life for us
Good news, good news, so glorious
In the dark, in the shadows
Light has come
In the quiet, in the dead of night
Glory, glory, sang the angels in the highest
At last, the king has arrived
