Blest be the everlasting God
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A paraphrase of 1 Peter 1:3-5 by Isaac Watts and William Cameron, celebrating the living hope granted to believers through Christ's resurrection and the promise of an imperishable heavenly inheritance.
Verse 1
Blest be the everlasting God,
The Father of our Lord;
Be His abounding mercy praised,
His majesty adored.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
To an inheritance divine
He taught our hearts to rise;
'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled,
Unfading in the skies.
Verse 4
Saints by the power of God are kept
Till the salvation come;
We walk by faith as strangers here,
But Christ shall call us home.
