On Man, in His Own Image Made (EN 33)

EN 33 On Man, in His Own Image Made

Gen.1.27

Versi Version 1

1

On man, in his own image made,

How much did God bestow?

The whole creation homage paid,

And owned him lord, below!

2

He dwelt in Eden’s garden, stored

With sweets for every sense;

And there with his descending Lord

He walked in confidence.

3

But O! by sin how quickly changed!

His honor forfeited,

His heart, from God and truth, estranged,

His conscience filled with dread!

4

Now from his Maker’s voice he flees,

Which was before his joy:

And thinks to hide, amidst the trees,

From an all seeing eye.

5

Compelled to answer to his name,

With stubbornness and pride

He cast, on God Himself, the blame,

Nor once for mercy cried.

6

But grace, unasked, his heart subdued

And all his guilt forgave;

By faith, the promised seed he viewed,

And felt His pow’r to save.

7

Thus we ourselves would justify,

Though we the law transgress;

Like him, unable to deny,

Unwilling to confess.

8

But when by faith the sinner sees

A pardon bought with blood;

Then he forsakes his foolish pleas,

And gladly turns to God.
