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. There's an inheritance divine reserved against that day; 'tis uncorrupted, undefiled, and cannot fade away. Saints by the power of God are kept, till the salvation come: we walk by faith as strangers here, till Christ shall call us home.
