Souls Salvation

Tune: St Anne

('O God, our help in ages past')

1 Peter 1 v.3-9 part

For All Souls Day - Nov. 2nd

************

The God and Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ, true His word

Blessed He be, who according to

His great mercy in view

Has begotten us again to

A living hope anew

By resurrection of His Son

Jesus Christ He has won

Victory over death, risen

Inheritance for men (mankind)

He gives, it incorruptible

Undefiled, is pure all

And it fades not away, it be

Reserved in heaven, see

For you, and for souls gone before

To the eternal shore

Trying, testing of faith, there times

Occurring through life's rhymes

There be, though more precious than gold

Is enduring faith bold

We through faith kept by God's power

Until the final hour

When our salvation full reveled

His creation all healed

Christ we not yet see, but rejoice

And praise Him with one voice

Receiving end of our faith, it

Be our souls saved each whit
