1.
This is the truth sent from above
The truth of God, the God of love
Therefore don't turn me from your door
But hearken will both rich and poor
2.
The first thing that I do relate
Is that God did man create
The next thing which to you I'll tell
Woman was made with man to dwell
3.
And after that, 'twas God's own choice
To place them both in Paradise,
There to remain of evil free
Except they ate of such a tree.
4.
But they did eat, which was a sin,
And so their ruin did begin,
Ruined themselves, both you and me,
And all of their posterity.
5.
Thus we were heirs to endless woes
Till God and Lord did interpose
And so a promise soon did run
That He would redeem us by His Son
6.
And at that season of the year
Our blessed redeemer did appear
He here did live and here did preach
And many thousands he did teach
7.
Thus He in love to us behaved
To show us how we must be saved
And if you want to know the way
Be pleased to hear what He did say
