164. Bless'd be th' eternal God

1 Bless'd be th' eternal God
the Father of our Lord!
Be his abounding mercy prais'd,
his majesty ador'd!

2 From death he rais'd his Son,
and called him to the sky;
he gave our souls a lively hope,
that they should never die.

3 What though his will requires,
That we should see the dust:
Since Christ, our pledge and pattern, rose,
So all his followers must.

4 There's an inheritance
Reserv'd against that day;
'Tis uncorrupted, undefil'd,
And cannot fade away.
