Verse 1
Blest be the Lord, forever blest
The God of Israel’s favour’d race,
His name be known, his power confest,
His riches of redeeming grace,
Who left for sinful worms his throne,
And came to bless us in his Son.
Verse 2
God was in Christ on earth reveal’d,
He entred a mean house of clay,
With whom the heaven of heavens is fill’d
He stoop’d to bear our sins away,
Victim Divine, on all bestow’d,
He bought the nations with his blood.
Verse 3
Let all their great Redeemer praise,
Redeem’d from sin, the world, and hell!
The strength of thy victorious grace,
Jesus, throughout our souls we feel,
And wait thine utmost power to save
Our bodies ransom’d from the grave.
