Verse 1
Yes; ye all may comprehend
This doctrine strange yet true:
God did from his throne descend,
And tasted death for you:
Conqueror of the grave, He rose,
To prove a sinful world forgiven,
Pardon purchas’d for his foes,
And purity, and heaven.
Verse 2
This the doctrine new receive
By our first father known:
In the second Man believe,
And live thro’ faith alone:
Life the glorious gospel brings,
Thro’ that atoning blood applied,
Lifts you into priests and kings,
And seats you by his side.
