Sarah's Rose

Great Redeemer of Creation

Sarah's Rose2




Great redeemer of creation
Earth is groaning from man's fall.
You have come to bring salvation.
We've transgressed your holy law.

From the bosom of the Father
To this sin cursed earth You came.
Laying down your life to ransom
Your lost sheep from death and pain.

By the promised Holy Spirit
We are heirs with Christ and sealed.
We long for the new creation
When God's sons will be revealed.

Earth awaits her consummation.
Transformed by God's mighty pow'r.
Moon and stars and all creation
Will rejoice in that glad hour!

Satan's pow'r will then be vanquished,
Conquered by the mighty Son.
Come, remove the curse forever
And make heav'n and earth as one!
