quote · Legacy record
Redemption was no after-thought, by Sin Awakened from thy depths, celestial Love! When first Humanity the fiend obeyed, For in the councils of Almighty Grace Thy priesthood, Oh Incarnate! was designed Before Creation out of nothing sprang. But when at length the hour predestined came, Eternity a form of Time assum’d; Then from His throne of perfect glory stoop’d The second in the Godhead, and Himself In mortal limbs and lineaments array’d; Then did Emmanuel on this blighted earth Of sin and suffering, body forth such grace As made our orb a miracle of worlds, By there achieving what the God Triune Determined when their master-work was plann’d, The vast atonement blood divine unveils.
