Blessed be the Everlasting God


Blessed 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,
to reign with him on high,
he gave our souls a lively hope
that they should never die.

There's an inheritance divine
reserved against that day,
that's uncorrupted, undefiled,
and cannot waste away.

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.
