Adam and Christ lords of the old and new creation | C |

But just below an angel's place | D |

And make him lord of all below | E |
Make every beast and bird submit | A |
And lay the fishes at his feet | A |

To crown the Second Adam's state | A |
What honors shall thy Son adorn | F |
Who condescended to be born | F |

See him below his angels made | A |
See him in dust amongst the dead | A |
To save a ruined world from sin | G |
But he shall reign with power divine | H |

The world to come redeemed from all | I |
The miseries that attend the fall | I |
New made and glorious shall submit | A |
At our exalted Savior's feet | A |
