"Words by Philip Doddridge, 1755, Hymn 270, with eight stanzas. Daniel Belknap apparently took his words from his distant cousin Jeremy Belknap's 1795 book, ''Sacred Poetry, Consisting of Psalms and Hymns…'' (see comparison of texts below). Jeremy Belknap attributes the words to "Mason," interpreted by some to mean John Mason, 1645-1694. These words were not found in John Mason's book, ''Spiritual Songs, or Songs of Praise'' of 1683, reprinted 1859."

:''Doddridge's Hymn 270, 1755'' 1. With flowing eyes and bleeding hearts A blasted world survey! See the wide ruin sin hath wrought In one unhappy day! 2. Adam, in God's own image formed From God and bliss estranged, And all the joys of paradise For guilt and horror changed! 3. Ages of labor and of grief He mourned his glory lost; At length the goodliest work of heaven Sunk down to common dust. 4. O fatal heritage bequeathed To all his helpless race! Through the thick maze of sin and woe Thus to the grave we pass. 5. But, O my soul! with rapture hear The second Adam's name; And the celestial gifts he brings To all his seed, proclaim. 6. In holiness and joy complete He reigns to endless years, And each adopted chosen child His splendid image wears. 7. What though in mortal life they mourn! What though by death they fall! Jesus in one triumphant day Transforms and crowns them all. 8 Praise to his rich, mysterious grace! E'en by our fall we rise, And gain, for earthly Eden lost, A heavenly paradise.
