LyicsNow may the God of peace and love,
Who, from th' impris'ning grave,
Restor'd the Shepherd of the sheep,
Omnipotent to save-
Through the rich merits of that blood
Which he on Calv'ry spilt,
To make th' eternal cov'nant sure,
On which our hopes are built,-
Perfect our souls in ev'ry grace
T' accomplish all his will,
And all that's pleasing in his sight
Inspire us to fulfil.
O for the great Messiah's sake,
Accept our humble lay;
With glory let his name be crown'd
Through heav'n's eternal day.
