Genesis 1:27: I How are the mighty fallen

I How are the mighty fallen!
Come, read thy mournful story.
Degenerate man:
Ended thy reign,
Departed is thy glory!

Though after God created,
His image and His favour
With Eden lost
Confounds thy boast,
And sinks thy soul for ever.

Now in the state of devils,
Thy soul to hell is falling:
But help is near;
Thy Saviour hear,
To grace and glory calling!

Thy forfeited dominion
With Christ again is given,
A paradise
Above the skies,
A happier state in heaven.
