Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000; Carol M. Bechtel, b. 1959 Hymnal: Christian Worship #567 (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D 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 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!
5 Renewed, restored, we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away.
Amen. Hallelujah! Topics: Justification Scripture: Revelation 21, 22:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: DETROIT
