Tune: Dominus Regit Me
(\'The King of love my Shepherd is\')
Matthew 22 v.29-32
********
Jesus said to some, You do err
For in this you do not share
Not knowing the scripture, nor power
Of God, which is strong each hour
For in the resurrection they
Not marry, nor in those days
Are engaged, but are as angels
Of God in heaven, know well
But as concerning, it is said
Resurrection of the dead
Have you not read what was spoken
Of old to you, sons of men?
Saying*, I am the God, the same
Of Abraham, that my name
And the God of Isaac, and true
The God of Jacob I am too
For God is not the God of dead
But He is our living Head
Hope of the resurrection bright
And of eternal, endless light
