Now and ever;
Praise him all beneath the skies;
Prostrate lying,
Suff'ring, dying
On the cross, a sacrifice.
Vict'ry gaining,
Life obtaining,
Now in glory he doth rise.
2 Man's work faileth,
Christ's availeth;
He is all our righteousness;
He, our Saviour,
Has for ever
Set us free from dire distress.
Through his merit
We inherit
Light and peace and happiness.
3 Sin's bonds severed;
We're delivered;
Christ has bruised the serpent's head;
Death no longer
Is the stronger;
Hell itself is captive led.
Christ has risen
From death's prison;
O'er the tomb he light has shed.
4 For his favor,
Praise for ever
Unto God the Father sing;
Praise the Saviour,
Praise him ever,
Son of God, our Lord and King.
Praise the Spirit;
Through Christ's merit,
He doth us salvation bring.
Amen. Scripture: Genesis 3:15 Used With Tune: UPP, MIN TUNGA
