“That man should find Grace,” spake the Son,<br />
“Heaven <strong>and</strong> Earth shall high extol<br />
Encompassing thy throne of hymns <strong>and</strong> song!”<br />
“Son, who art alone My Word, My Might,<br />
On even ground upheld <strong>by</strong> Me,<br />
Now man soon disobeying sins, <strong>and</strong> needs must dye.”<br />
“Oh Father, man shall find grace in place of strife,<br />
For behold mee then, mee for him, life for life.<br />
Fall your anger on mee, account mee man.<br />
Even upon mee let Death wreck all his rage.<br />
Redeem man, but I shall rise victorious,<br />
Shall enter Heav’n to see thy face!”<br />
So Heav’nly love shall outdoo Hellish hate.<br />
Even to save a World from utter loss,<br />
Love triumphing <strong>and</strong> fair Truth,<br />
Fruitful of Golden Deeds!<br />
