Book Of Life

Tune: Christchurch

(\'Now is eternal life\')

Revelation 20 parts

*********

Grant, Lord, that as you look

Our names be in your book

Your book of life it be

May you there our names see

Who have believed on Christ your Son

He our Saviour, atoning one

 

And that we evangel

Rech out, to others tell

Of your gospel that saves

Your love the way it paves

For us to come to God through you

Forgiveness, eternal life new

 

For may none here be late

To enter the strait gate

And path which to life leads

Though narrow, grant each heeds

That all be writ there in your book

None need be forfeit nor forsook

 

Safe from the lake of fire

where torments never tire

Where all evil does burn

None penitent e\'er turn

Separated from God for e\'er

A fate we wish for none to bear

 

What good deed, what word can

We do for woman, man?

Or child of any age

Throughout history\'s page?

For none you desire to be lost

Great Shepherd, paid for them the cost

 

Yet raptures of redeemed

On them has light bright beamed

No death, mourn, tears, or pain

They free from all sins stain

Believers trusting Christ the Lord

He our salvation, living word
