From His pierced heart His river flows—
A stream of light bathes all the earth—
To wash away the sin we know
And give His paradise new birth.
We long for Eden-born-anew
Through tree and rock from Eden old–
Makes Cross and Stone through which we view
An empty tomb by Him foretold.
Awake is Eden, put to sleep
By poisoned drug from Satan’s tongue,
But he has not the pow’r to keep
Him from descending Jacob’s rungs.
New Eden laughs in Satan’s face
As paradise He for us saves,
And raised with Him the human race
As we ride home on His stream’s wave.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
