Into An Inheritance

Tune: St Fulbert

('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')

1 Peter 1 v.3-5

********

Blessed so the God and Father be

Of our Lord Jesus, He

The Christ who brings us salvation

E'en unto each nation

By God's abundant mercy He

Has begotten us, see

Unto a living hope, each one

By Christ's resurrection

His resurrection from the dead

He now our living Head

We given an inheritance

It to all penitents

It be incorruptible all

And undefiled, no spoil

And fades not away, lasts for e'er

In it each one may share

It be reserved in heaven for

You, and you are kept sure

By God's power through faith unto

Salvation till [the] end, true
