Did Abraham himself not say God would provide a lamb
To take instead the punishment that should belong to man
And so to humble shepherds was his glory first revealed
And with his birth a covenant made long ago was sealed
Vicit agnus
Vicit agnus
Noster eius ___
Out of his dark obscurity the light of God has shown
And through the meekness of the lamb God's strength would be made known
The just and gentle promised one would triumph over the foe
And conquer by his own defeat and win by losing all
