whose new-creating power
makes the dead sinner live:
his work completes the great design,
and fills the soul with joy divine.

humbly our poor nature sharing,
now to save us you have come,
all our sin and sorrow bearing;
you have brought us saving grace,
freed from guilt our sinful race.

by a thousand snares surrounded;
keep us free from sin today,
never let us be confounded:
grant us with your saints a place;
all our trust is in your grace.

When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.

which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail:
4 and that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine;
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine;
5 who in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his followers, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
