Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #164 (1814) Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy Lyrics: 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. Topics: Resurrection and Glory of Christ Languages: English
Bless'd be th' eternal God
