What Adam's Disobedience Cost

Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost, let Holy Scripture say: ourselves estranged, an Eden lost, and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day. 2 An ark of mercy rode the flood, but we, where waters swirled, rebuilt, impatient of the good, another fallen world: an unrepentant world. 3 A little child is Adam’s heir, is Adam’s hope and Lord, sing joyful carols everywhere, that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored. 4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness: the angels sheathe their swords; in joyful carols all confess the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s! 5 Renewed, restored we look ahead to glimpse that glorious day when in the new Jerusalem all griefs will pass away. “Amen.
