New Virgin Earth

She was for us new Virgin Earth
From whom New Adam would be born,
And all in Him are not forlorn
But share in our Redeemer’s mirth.

As Adam from the earth first sprang,
Our Second Adam from her came.
From Virgin soil, then each became
A living man–God’s praises sang.

But Second Adam never fell,
So death on Him can have no claim;
And all in Him may reap the same,
As we now sing sin’s own death knell–

For raised with Him, God’s glory reigns:
New Heaven and New Earth arise;
His rainbow paints the morning skies.
What Adam lost, Christ has regained!
