Here Be Hope

('The day of resurrection')

1 Peter 1 v.3-5

*********

The God and Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ, true His word

And blessed be He, who according

To great mercy does bring

Life, he has us begotten

Born again through His Son

Unto a living hope, that we

No more without hope be

 

'Tis by the resurrection

Of Jesus, His own Son

Jesus Christ risen from dead

Now e'er our living Head

Brought to an inheritance

Nothing can remove hence

Us from here is we believe

And His good gifts receive

 

It an inheritance be

Incorruptible, see

And undefiled, unfading

No blot or decaying

It be reserved in heaven

For us, who are kept then

By the power of God to

Salvation, e'en for you

 

This salvation is ready

To be revealed fully

At end time, Jesus' return

We in Him grow and learn

Having His Spirit, earnest* (* deposit, down payment)

Of this, we people blest

God and we shall ever be

At one eternally
