First and Second Adam

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 First Line: Lord, what was man, when made at first Lyrics: 1 Lord, what was man, when made at first, Adam, the offspring of the dust, That thou should'st set him and his race, But just below an Angel's place? 2 That thou should'st raise his nature so, And make him lord of all below; Make ev'ry beast and bird submit, And lay the fishes at his feet. 3 But O! what brighter glories wait To crown the second Adam's state? What honors shall thy son adorn; Who condescended to be born? 4 See him below his angels made; See him in dust among the dead, To save a ruin'd world from sin; But he shall reign with pow'r divine. 5 The world to come, redeem'd from all The mis'ries that attend the fall, New made and glorious shall submit At our exalted Saviour's feet.
