Tune: Ode To Joy
('Joyful, joyful, we adore thee')
Ephesians 1 v.3-14
*********
Blessed be the God and Father, He
Of our Lord Jesus Christ, see
Who has blessed us with all blessings
Spiritual, to Him each sings
Blessed in heavenly places we
Are in Christ eternally
Chosen in Christ by God before
Foundation of the world sure
Chosen that we should be holy
And without blame, now made free
Before God the Father in love
sealed by the Spirit, the dove
We by God predestinated
Unto Him we adopted
As His children, by Christ His Son
This His desire for each one
It be so, to praise His glory
In His Son we are made free
Redeemed, our sins are forgiven
In Him, children, women, men
'Tis in accord with His grace sure
Which does abound evermore
In all wisdom and all prudence
Not foolish, not wasted hence
In Christ we an inheritance
Have obtained, by His good sense
And are by His Spirit here sealed
'Til the fulness be revealed
For the Spirit, He the promise
That we shall not blessings miss
The deposit, the down payment
By God through His Son is sent
