[As many as in Adam died]

This is My blood of the new testament, which, &c. —xxvi. 28.

As many as in Adam died,
In Christ may be restored,
And freely saved in Christ confide,
And love their bleeding Lord:

401

To purge the universal sin
The purple fountain flow'd,
To make our life and nature clean,
And bring us all to God.
His blood and body are the price
By which we all are freed,
The victim of our sacrifice
Which doth our spirits feed;
The bond of union with our Lord,
The seal of sins forgiven,
Our life of paradise restored,
Our antepast of heaven.
