PRAISE TO GOD FOR OUR REDEMPTION.

1 BLESS’D be the wisdom and the power,
The justice and the grace,
That join’d in council to restore,
And save our ruin’d race.

2 Our father ate forbidden fruit,
And from his glory fell ;
And we his children thus were brought
To death, and near to hell.

3 Bless’d be the Lord, that sent his Son
To take our flesh and blood ;
He for our lives gave up his own,
To make eur peace with God.
