Before ever Adam fell in sin
What a state of happiness be was in.
He was not acquainted with evil;
Not an evil thought in his head.
His heart was clean
In the sight of God;
There was no unruliness, envy, and pride.
His soul was calm
And free from poison.
He has now injured all his offspring.
The Lord put: him.in the garden,
Where everything grew in abundance.
Nothing was forbidden to him,
But the one tree-whose fruit was Death.
Then each creature
Was under his power;
He might be their king
All flesh
Was under his rule,
While he himself was obedient to God.
The Lord God gave him the choice
Of remaining in this good state for ever,
And of having the pleasures both of heaven and earth
As the inheritance prepared for him;
But he preferred
To break the law,
And then to suffer the sting of death.
For himself and his seed
To be cast out of
God's favour and grace.
And soon he was advised
To choose the worse part;
And too much heed he gave the tempter,
Which so confused his right mind,
That in his pride [mand,
He rebelled against the Lord's com-
And thought to be as God himself,
To judge of good and bad
When he obtained the knowledge;
And so he ate of the pleasant fruit.
As soon as he broke the command-
How pitiful it is to think of it! -
Alas ! what a disease he inherited,
As his descendants now behold.
Pitiful care,
Trouble ; some toil
In body and mind, aching and pain.
With evil now
He became acquainted,
And it weighed on him like a heavy burden.
He was then driven out of the garden,
Never again to return there.
From all the happiness he was cut off,
And none would have mercy on him.
God's heavy anger,
Utterly heart breaking,
Threatened him with pain and death;
And a way to escape,
Or to be saved,
Not one was there yet to be found.
To think upon the state that he had lost,
Aud upon what he had suffered;
To think upon how he had been deprived
Of his own heritage and his children's,
Was reason enough
For great sorrow,
If greatness of sorrow would do good-
If a tear would avail,
Or bitter crying,
To regain the blessed inheritance.
This is how sin went into the man,
And took deep root in his heart,
And it spread out on all mankind;
The older it got the stronger it grew.
The green earth
Yielded fruit
Of itself without a plough or any implement,
Now, with thorn and briar
It is cursed,
Because of the sin of its inheritance.
God's justice sought our punishment,
While His mercy pleaded in our favour.
The severity of the law called for revene;
The sins of mankind were very great.'
For living creatures
To endure,
All must be without pardon.
Silver or gold,
Or precious stones,
Would not keep them out of prison.
Now Almighty God, Lord of Mercy,
Source of all wisdom, and all people,
Look on mankind in their state of trouble
Through their negligence they have fallen.
He found a method
To destroy death,
That he could not rule over them,
Through a new covenant,
That they might live,
If they would but keep it.
His Son was eternal-
InHis own likeness, speech, and power-
The only wise, aud without sin;
Equal to Himself in honour aud glory.
He took in hand
Mankind's great cause,
And put all the strife to au end ;
And as bail,
Took upon himself
All the commands.
He would fulfil His Father's will.
The threatening of the law He put to rest.
Mankind's wickedness all atoned.
He would open again the gate of life.
As He was God
There was nothing
Above Him to restrain Him.
Through a sea of love
That did not ebb
Christ the Son of God helped us.
Now the blessed angels bowed down,
And let down to us the King of Glory.
Our nature he tools on for clothing.
To Christ, God's Son, it was great humility.
What great kindness
He had for us,
That He left his heavenly worship-
The cherubim
And seraphim-
And came to us as a Saviour.
What He took in hand He fulfilled ;
What He promised He brought to an end;
The will of His Father He performed;
Law and justice were laid down.
And this was done
Again by a covenant
Which is far better than the law
Which our first father got
From Him in the garden,
When He took all his happiness from him.
By a covenant God did all this.
If we will repent in our hearts
For the sour fruit of every tree
Which we have eaten against God's laws
Forsaking sin,
Leading a new life,
And doing good to every one;
Above all things
Giving love to God,
And to our neighbour as to ourselves.
Then let us humbly pray to God
Through Christ who showed us mercy.
If we pray with clean hearts,
Trusting that He will hear us,
Our whole trust
And our care,
Casting upon Him as our Father,
Through gain or loss
Christ will take our side,
And conduct us in the right road.
O, how happy now are the sons of men
That the heavens are agreed with them.
Redeemed from the ways of Adam,
And our charge made less,
We will pay it back again
With the help of Christ.
Easy is our yoke and light is that burden.
We have escaped being bent down
Under the heavy load
Of the law which Adam had on his shoulders.
Now, glory, praise, thanks, and blessing,
To God the Father who created us;
To Jesus Christ who redeemed us;
Also to God the Holy Spirit.
Each age will
Still offer up
Our praises to Him for ever;
And each creature
To the best of his power
Will give Him high praise.AMEN.
