Classic Poem

The Sin of my First Father is
Mine, the Just Law doth say,
The Sin of a Vile Nature , This
Doth unto me Convey.

Innumerable Sins I do
Hence madly Perpetrate;
Sins , which the Good I Have and Know;
Doth sadly aggravate.

But, O my Precious CHRIST, I see,
THOU art my Surety made:
A Full Obedience was by Thee
To Thy Great Father Paid.

Thy Vast Obedience is by Him
Now freely Reckon'd mine;
And me doth unto Life Redeem
That Righteousness of Thine.

O may I Love that Glorious One:
Lord , Thou deserv'st my Love;
Such Things Thy Love hath for me done,
Things all my Thoughts above!

My God , I Love Thee; And I Grieve
That I Love Thee no more:
I Love Thee, and that I may Live
Thy Praises, I Implore.
