The Regeneration of Man
O, what a prideful being!
Plagued by sin and darkness of heart!
Who is man to imagine that he can resuscitate himself?
Deceived! Again, I say, “Deceived!”--
O, how our Divine Father detests sin!
In indulgence, Man becomes completely estranged!
Estranged! Again, I say, “Estranged!”--
O, how majestic is our God!
Willing to exchange a throne for Man’s Transgression!
Holy! Holy! Again, I say, “Holy!”--
O, how we have suffered your sting all the days that we breathe!
Who else can reap such trepidation in the depths of man?
But why fear? Again, I ask, “Why Fear?”--
O, blessed hope that prohibits the sting!
Death is no more! No more!
Again, I say, “No More!”
O, what a prideful being!
Plagued by sin and darkness of heart!
Who is man to imagine that he can resuscitate himself?
Deceived! Again, I say, “Deceived!”--
O, how our Divine Father detests sin!
In indulgence, Man becomes completely estranged!
Estranged! Again, I say, “Estranged!”--
O, how majestic is our God!
Willing to exchange a throne for Man’s Transgression!
Holy! Holy! Again, I say, “Holy!”--
O, how we have suffered your sting all the days that we breathe!
Who else can reap such trepidation in the depths of man?
But why fear? Again, I ask, “Why Fear?”--
O, blessed hope that prohibits the sting!
Death is no more! No more!
Again, I say, “No More!”
