The Father of our Lord;
Be His abounding mercy praised,
His majesty adored.
2 When from the dead He raised His Son,
And called Him to the sky,
He gave our souls a lively hope
That they should never die.
3 What though our inbred sins require
Our flesh to see the dust,
Yet as the Lord our Savior rose,
So all His followers must.
4 There’s an inheritance divine
Reserved against that day;
’Tis uncorrupted, undefiled,
And cannot waste away.
5 Saints by the power of God are kept
Till the salvation come;
We walk by faith as strangers here,
Till Christ shall call us home. Used With Tune: NATIVITY Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book I, 1707
Blest Be The Everlasting God
