Hymn 679 – ERE Mother Eve falleth to sin | C&S English Hymnary

1. ERE Mother Eve falleth to sin None hath the idea of the knit Her nudeness never to expose Abomination! and a snare! 2. When raiment of fig leaves she wore The sacred adorning fadeth Lo! as we thy Kindred on earth The raiment of shame we adorn. 3. Lo! we mortal, how great our pride When the raiment anew adorn As though not adorneth of ants As though not adorneth of sheep. 4. Lo! the beautiful butterfly And the flow'ry plants and the shrubs My raiments how much and in worths Worthless than butterfly and shrubs. 5. With all of me, my heart I'll seek Worthy adomments in value Acceptable manners and truth Greatest and worthy adomments. 6. Then shall I of great value be Than the butterfly, ants and shrubs Adornment of Angelic pearls And of the sacred Son of God. 7. Never failing and fadeth not Neither of the moth be consumed In rain, in shine it’s all the same It’s beauty, value, ne'er corrupt. 8. This I shall adorn here below That I may adorn there above Pearly adornment made of God His glory and His joy it be AMEN
