Lord, What Was Man? (EN 487)

EN 487 Lord, What Was Man?

Ps.8.4

Versi Version 1

1

Lord, what was man, when made at first,

Adam the offspring of the dust,

That Thou shouldst set him and his race

But just below an angel’s place?

2

That Thou shouldst raise his nature so,

And make him lord of all below;

Make every 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 amongst the dead,

To save a ruined world from sin;

But He shall reign with power divine.

5

The world to come, redeemed from all

The mis’ries that attend the fall,

New made and glorious, shall submit

At our exalted Savior’s feet.
