| A child of man, a child of God, How wide their states must be! Beneath His sceptre or His rod, His wrath or clemency. | | 32 Children of Adam, Adam's fall From primal innocence, Brought guilt and judgment on us all, Entail'd through one offence. | | Train'd in His image from our birth, We sinn'd, ourselves, and fell, Like him, from heirs of heaven on earth, To heirs of death and hell. | | Transgressors while we thus remain, In our own blood we lie; We must be born, be born again, Or die, for ever die. | | A child of man, a child of God, How can such union be? A worm created from a clod, Allied to Deity! | | Lo! love divine, for man undone, Devised the wondrous plan, The Son of God, God's only Son, Became the Son of man. | | Our path of life and death He trod, That we like Him might be, Though sons of men, the sons of God, Through His humanity. | | All glory to the Father's love, Who spared not His Son, Aud sent His Spirit from above, To seal what Christ had done. | |
