[Clothed with the skins of victims slain]

Unto Adam also, and to his wife, did the Lord God, &c. —iii. 21.

Clothed with the skins of victims slain,
Our parents turn'd on Christ their eyes,
The Lamb whom God did then ordain,
The grand vicarious Sacrifice:
By faith they knew the blood was shed,
For them, and all their race to' atone,
And trusting in His merits, made
His perfect righteousness their own.
