The First and Second Adam › Representative Texts

1 Deep in the dust before Thy throne,
Our guilt and our disgrace we own;
Great God! we own th'unhappy name
Whence sprung our nature and our shame.

2 But whilst our spirits, filled with awe,
Behold the terrors of Thy law,
We sing the honors of Thy grace,
That sent to save our ruined race.

3 We sing Thine everlasting Son,
Who joined our nature to His own:
The second Adam, from the dust,
Raises the ruins of the first.

4 Where sin did reign, and death abound,
There have the sons of Adam found
Abounding life; there glorious grace
Reigns through the Lord our righteousness.

Amen.

1 Deep in the dust before thy throne
Our guilt and our disgrace we own:
Great God! we own th' unhappy name,
Whence sprang our nature and our shame;

2 Adam the sinner: At his fall,
Death, like a conqu'ror seiz'd us all;
A thousand new-born babes are dead,
By fatal union to their head.

3 But whilst our spirits, fill'd with awe,
Behold the terrors of thy law,
We sing the honours of thy grace,
That sent to save our ruin'd race.

4 We sing thine everlasting Son,
Who join'd our nature to his own;
Adam the second, from the dust
Raises the ruins of the first.

5 [By the rebellion of one man
Thro' all his seed the mischief ran;
And by one man's obedience now
Are all his seed made righteous too.

6 Where sin did reign, and death abound,
There have the sons of Adam found
Abounding life; there glorious grace
Reigns thro' the Lord our righteousness.]

Deep in the dust before thy throne
Our guilt and our disgrace we own;
Great God! we own th' unhappy name
Whence sprang our nature and our shame;
Adam the sinner: at his fall,
Death like a conqueror seized us
A thousand new-born babes are dead
By fatal union to their head.
But whilst our spirits, filled with awe,
Behold the terrors of thy law,
We sing the honors of thy grace,
That sent to save our ruined race.
We sing thine everlasting Son,
Who joined our nature to his own:
Adam the second from the dust
Raises the ruins of the first.
[By the rebellion of one man
Through all his seed the mischief ran;
And by one man's obedience now
Are all his seed made righteous too.]
Where sin did reign, and death abound,
There have the sons of Adam found
Abounding life; there glorious grace
Reigns through the Lord our righteousness.

Are all his seed made righteous, too.

The Cyber Hymnal #1204

Deep in the dust before thy throne
Our guilt and our disgrace we own;
Great God! we own th' unhappy name
Whence sprang our nature and our shame;

Adam the sinner: at his fall,
Death like a conqueror seized us
A thousand new-born babes are dead
By fatal union to their head.

But whilst our spirits, filled with awe,
Behold the terrors of thy law,
We sing the honors of thy grace,
That sent to save our ruined race.

We sing thine everlasting Son,
Who joined our nature to his own:
Adam the second from the dust
Raises the ruins of the first.

[By the rebellion of one man
Through all his seed the mischief ran;
And by one man's obedience now
Are all his seed made righteous too.]

Where sin did reign, and death abound,
There have the sons of Adam found
Abounding life; there glorious grace
Reigns through the Lord our righteousness.



The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #83

1 Deep in the Dust before thy Throne
Our Guilt and our Disgrace we own;
Great God we own th' unhappy Name
Whence sprang our Nature and our Shame.

2 Adam the Sinner: At his Fall,
Death, like a Conqu'ror seiz'd us all;
A Thousand new-born Babes are dead,
By fatal Union to their Head.

3 But while our Spirits fill'd with Awe,
Behold the Terrors of thy Law;
We sing the Honours of thy Grace,
That sent to save our ruin'd Race.

4 We sing thine everlasting Son,
Who joined our Nature to his own;
Adam the Second, from the Dust,
Raises the Ruins of the First.

[5 By the Rebellion of one Man
Through all his Seed the Mischief ran;
And by one Man's Obedience now
Are all his seed made righteous too.]

6 Where Sin did reign, and Death abound;
There have the Sons of Adam found
Abounding Life; there glorious Grace
Reigns through the Lord our Righteousness.
