Tune: Serenity
('Immortal love, for ever full')
Ephesians 1 v.3-6
**********
Blesséd be the God and Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ sure
Who has blessed us with spiritual
Blessings, they in Christ all
According as He has chosen
Us in Christ, women, men
And children, before foundation
Of the world, e'en ere then
That through Christ we should be holy
Blameless before God, see
In love, having relationship
And giving God worship
God having predestinated
Us, it is so stated
To be His adopted children
'Tis by Jesus Christ then
God adopts us to Himself, He
Shows it agrees, it be
The good pleasure of His will, for
We His people e'ermore
It to the praise of the glory
Of His grace bestowed free
In this He makes us accepted
We part of the beloved

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
thankfully .. you trimmed this version down a bit Orchidee ..
I read through this un, but might well have developed an aversion to the other version .......... 🙂
Thanks N. Some moaned cos there were too many 'Alleluias' in a hymn. Well, there was one after every single line.
Did you spot that strange creature, the e'ermore, in it? If I add the 'v' it mucks the whole line up. There's a ne'ermore too in another of my poems.
Well done, Orchi. Thanks for the lift.
Thanks Jerry.
Good thoughts in this write Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
