Eve & The Church


Eve & The Church

Bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh.
She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man.

Adam in the dust did sleep
And from his wound so deep

A bride was fashioned for Adam to keep,
Journey together and all bounties to reap.

Be fruitful and multiply the mandate to meet.

From the miry clay, church elect did sleep,
The wounds of the Savior so deep.

Redeeming blood purchased His bride to keep
To share His glory for the Church to reap. . .

To spread His Name is our joyful mandate to meet.
