Bless be to our God,
Father of our Lord;
Who we honor and laud,
As beloved and adored.

To His mercy and grace,
Has caused us to be born;
Unto a living hope,
From where we do sojourn.

Unto a living hope,
Through the resurrection;
From the dead as we cope,
With the Christ connection.

For an inheritance,
And imperishable;
Shining His countenance,
As immeasurable.

It is undefiled,
Waiting for in Heaven;
That has been beguiled,
To you will be given.

By the power of God,
That is being guarded;
As it remains unflawed,
Through faith be rewarded.

Salvation be revealed,
That you will then rejoice;
For blessings you will yield,
Your life made the right choice.

Rejoice for a while,
Your faith gone through the test;
You grieve through the trial,
Ensured to do your best.

Faith more precious than gold,
Which is tested through fire;
Refined as to behold,
Spiritual desire.

Although you have not seen,
You still love and cherish;
Belief in what has been,
Your faith will not perish.

Obtaining the outcome,
Salvation of your soul;
No longer deaf and dumb,
For obtaining your goal.
