consultation after the fall Of .1ddM and Ere.
God the Father-
Man has fallen Woman's bound
With chain no power may break;
Sin hath coiled its shacklcs round,
Earth is cursed for its dread sake
Ne'er again shall Eden bloom
In yon world once made so fair;
Paradise itselfs tomb;
Death shall stalk forever there
God, the Son
Father! Father! say not SO! .,---
Holy Father | viii go ,.
In that sphere to live and die, ..s... .s.-.
If Thoult but reverse that cry
The Holy Ghost-
If Thonlt eilansc il l viii send
Messenger to that sad world
That shall be the Savior's friend
Whcreso'er His Truths unturlcd,
There's n spirit dwells iu Heaven,
Which to that lost orb once given,
In conjunction with His Love,
Yet shall raise il high above
All it ever could have known
With fair Eden still its own!
God, tie Father
I'll recall the direful word
That with tears all Heaven hath heard.
Chorus Of Angcls-
Life springs from death from darkness,
tight!
Yon sn-cursed earth shall grow more
bright
In the long ages yet to como
That world shall be Sayior's home;
While all its lands and seas shall thrill
In echo to Gods Mercy still
A Savior's form shall bless it's bowers;
A Savior's hand shah Gull its flowers;
A Sayior's footsteps come and so
Where sin hath lately rlvaged SO;
A Savior's loving accents bless
The haunts of even the wilderness;
A Saviors Heaven-sent presence cheer
Its every pRHk both far and near,
TIL men and beasts shall learn to know
That God is with them hero below!
A Savior's great, strong heart shall bleed
In drops of woe for earth's deep need;
A Savior's spirit narrowed be
BY sorrows of Gethsemanc;
A Savior's throcs when life hath fled
Shall rouse from tbrir graves the dead
The Stiliing of aSavior's a heart
Shall send the solid rocks apart;
And midnight darkness clothe the sun
When that blest Savior's race is run
A Savior's wondros gilt of Love
Upon the Cross shall deathless prove;
A Savior's form shall burst the tomb
\ Saviol's cheer dispcl it's gloom;
A Savior's tgutb. .pGeachc9 tag and wide
