Bless'd be the God and Father of
Our Savior Jesus Christ
Who with abundant, sovereign love
Has born us to new life
Not to the fate of Adam's race
But to a living hope:
Christ raised to life, securing grace
For those the Father chose
We orphans poor that God did choose
Were destitute in sin
But God in Christ broke sin's dread curse
And made us rich in Him
Not with earth's treasures that will fade
In rusted, man-made tombs
But with unceasing glory, bright
Reserved in heav'n for you
And though the Devil greatly yearns
To draw us from Christ's fold
The Father holds us in His hand
Through sovereign pow'r untold
The Spirit sealed us for the day
He is our guarantee:
Our bodies shall be glorified
And Christ, in glory, see
So let no trial or distress
Cause your heart to despair
But rise and bless the Lord, your God
for his salvific care
From end to end remption is
All His own gracious deed
Rejoice with joy unspeakable
That God does save indeed
