On lost Innocence

Tho we cannot lost Innocence re-call,
Repentance will preserve from farther fall,
And Faith in Christ will then recover all:
So we by him shall Victory obtain,
And God by mercy will the Glory gain.
And thus by grace and savour of God's love,
We may with joy triumph, all fears remove;
Which will our hearts revive, new hopes create,
And raise our Souls to our first blessed state.
And thus from sin by Christ's great Merit freed,
We may as God's adopted Sons proceed,
With Duty and Obedience to his Will,
Till he in Heaven does all our hope fulfil.
