Hope of Heaven (Unfinished)

Verse 1

Blest be the everlasting God,
The Father of our Lord;
Be his abounding mercy praised,
His majesty adored.

When from the dead he raised his Son,
And called him to the sky,
He gave our souls a lively hope
That they should never die.

Refrain

Praise be to God
Praise be to God
The father of our saviour Jesus Christ
Praise be to God
Praise be to God
In him we have a living hope
For our eternal life

Verse 2

What though our inbred sins require
Our flesh to see the dust,
Yet as the Lord our Savior rose,
So all his followers must.

We have inheritance divine
Reserved against that day;
'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled,
And cannot waste away.

Verse 3

Saints by the power of God are kept
Till His salvation come;
We walk by faith as strangers here,
Till Christ shall call us home.

That day we'll gaze upon his throne
Absorbed in ceaseless praise
His church united in one song
To glorify his name
