L.M.
1
Man had no sorrow, knew no shame,
When first he from his Maker came;
Good, wise and happy, all was well;
But Satan tempted, and he fell.
2
Behold! His Son the Father gave;
The Son descends, and dies to save!
The Spirit next to earth comes down,
The wondrous work of love to crown.
3
Thus, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Unite to seek and save the lost;
How vast the love of God to man!
How perfect and how wise the plan!
