THE Sin of my First Father is Mine, the Just Law doth say, The Sin of a Vile Nature, This Doth unto me Convey.
Innumerable Sins I do Hence madly Perpetrate; Sins, which the Good I Have and Know, Doth sadly aggravate.
But, O my Precious CHRIST, I see, THOU art my Surety made: A Full Obedience was by Thee To Thy Great Father Paid.
Thy Vast Obedience is by Him Now freely Reckoned mine; And me doth unto Life Redeem That Righteousness of Thine.
Thy Vast Obedience is by Him Now freely Reckon'd mine; And me doth unto Life Redeem That Righteousness of Thine.
O may I Love that Glorious One: Lord ▪ Thou deservest my Love; Such Things Thy Love hath for me done, Things all my Thoughts above!
