Bless'd be the everlasting God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 189 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-5 Lyrics:
Bless’d be the everlasting God,
the Father of our Lord;
Be his abounding mercy praised,
his majesty adored.
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.
To an inheritance divine
he taught our hearts to rise;
’Tis uncorrupted, undefiled,
unfailing in the skies.
Saints by the pow’r of God are kept
till the salvation come:
We walk by faith as strangers here;
but Christ shall call us home.
Bless'd be the everlasting God
Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee
Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,024 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills my breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
nor can the mind recall
a sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of us all!
3 O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who ask, how kind thou art,
how good to those who seek!
4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
no tongue or pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is
none but his loved ones know.
5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
in thee be all our glory now,
and through eternity.

and still this throbbing heart,
the rending veil shall thee reveal,

showers gifts on us below;
his desire our souls delight in,
pleasure leads us where we go.

at his hand,
joy awaits at his command!

sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.

By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
By pow'r of faith, Christ's incarnation,
His Baptism in the Jordan River,
His cross of death for my salvation,
His bursting from the spiced tomb,
His riding up the heavenly way,
His coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.

The pow'r of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to harken to my need,
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, His shield to ward,
The Word of God to give me speech,
His heav'nly host to be my guard.
4 Against the demon snares of sin,
The vice that gives temptation force,
The natural lusts that war within,
The hostile foes that mar my course;
Or few or many, far or nigh,
In ev'ry place and in all hours,
Against their fierce hostility,
I bind to me those holy pow'rs.
5 I bind unto myself the name,
The strong name of the Trinity
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three,
Of whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
Salvation is of Christ the Lord!

Though their weight
May be great,
They will not defeat me.
God, my loving Savior, sends them;

All my woes
Knows how best to end them.

And I will
Trust Him still
When He send me sadness.
God is good;
His love attends me
Day by day,
Come what may,
Guides me and defends me.

Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,292 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 1:4 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou mayest smile at all thy foes.
2 See! the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage --
grace which, like the Lord the Giver,
never fails from age to age?
3 Saviour, since of Zion's city
I, through grace, a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy Name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
and all boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion's children know.

may raise the victor strain.

let earth its song begin,
let all the world keep triumph
and all that is therein.

their notes of gladness blend;
