LotR meets Christmas carols - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I just found this in my school hymn-book, don't you find it eerily relevant to LOTR?

Gabriel's message does away
Satan's curse and Satan's sway
Out of darkness brings our Day:
So, behold,
All the gates of heaven unfold

He that comes despised shall reign;
He that cannot die, be slain;
Death by death its death shall gain:

Weakness shall the strong confound;
By the hands, in grave-clothes wound,
Adam's chains shall be unbound:

By the sword that was his own,
By that sword and that alone,
Shall Goliath be o'erthrown:

Art by art shall be assailed;
To the cross shall life be nailed:
From the grave shall hope be hailed:

I think thats scary to be honest!
