Genesis 3:21: Clothed with the skins of victims slain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Clothed with the skins of victims slain.
Our parents turn'd on Christ their eyes.
The Lamb whom God did then ordain.
The grand vicarious Sacrifice:
By faith they knew the blood was shed.
For them, and all their race to' atone,
And trusting in His merits, made
His perfect righteousness their own.
