Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.7.6.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What Adam's disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judment 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 ev'rywhere,
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! Topics: Biblical Characters Adam Scripture: Genesis 3:23 Used With Tune: HERMON
