Isaac Watts - Hymn 78Isaac Watts - Hymn 78
Work rating: Low


Redemption by Christ. When the first parents of our race Rebelled and lost their God, And the infection of their sin Had tainted all our blood; Infinite pity touched the heart Of the eternal Son; Descending from the heav`nly court, He left his Father`s throne. Aside the Prince of glory threw His most divine array, And wrapped his godhead in a veil Of our inferior clay. His living power and dying love Redeemed unhappy men, And raised the ruins of our race To life and God again. To thee, dear Lord, our flesh and soul We joyfully resign; Bless`d Jesus, take us for thy own, For we are doubly thine. Thine honor shall for ever be The business of our days; For ever shall our thankful tongues Speak thy deserved praise.
