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 chain loose
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
I changed the fourth line of the first stanza like we discussed in class. I'm not yet sure how I feel about the second stanza.
