Image Remade

In Your own Person You begin
A New Creation for us all
That’s never fallen into sin:
“Come forth” You to creation call.

A second time Your Word You speak
From other side of empty tomb;
You are New Adam we all seek
Born from a Virgin Mother’s womb.

For she is now our Second Eve
Born from Your Adam’s wounded side:
Your future in her past received
That You may in her womb reside.

You sinless human nature take
From her become the Son of Man
That You may in us all re-make
Your Image with which we began.

Through You creation is re-born
And through the old we see the new
Made from Your love, we’re not forlorn,
For heaven in the new we view.
