Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXXIV (1766) Hymnal Title: The Psalms of David Lyrics: 1 Deep in the Dust before thy Throne
Our Guilt and our Disgrace we own;
Great God we own th' unhappy Name
Whence sprang our Nature and our Shame.
2 Adam the Sinner: At his Fall,
Death, like a Conqu'ror seiz'd us all;
A Thousand new-born Babes are dead,
By fatal Union to their Head.
3 But while our Spirits fill'd with Awe,
Behold the Terrors of thy Law;
We sing the Honours of thy Grace,
That sent to save our ruin'd Race.
4 We sing thine everlasting Son,
Who joined our Nature to his own;
Adam the Second, from the Dust,
Raises the Ruins of the First.
[5 By the Rebellion of one Man
Through all his Seed the Mischief ran;
And by one Man's Obedience now
Are all his seed made righteous too.]
6 Where Sin did reign, and Death abound;
There have the Sons of Adam found
Abounding Life; there glorious Grace
Reigns through the Lord our Righteousness. Topics: First and Second Adam; Christ and Adam; Christ His Pity to the Afflicted and Tempted; Compassion to the Afflicted; Weak Saints encouraged by Christ Scripture: Romans 5:12-19 Languages: English
