Bless be the God and Father;
Of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Gave Him as our Brother,
Ultimately sacrificed.
According to great mercy,
Caused us to be born again;
A living hope so that we,
Will be like Christ who does reign.
The resurrection of Christ,
Who was raised up from the dead;
Who was pure and never enticed,
Through godliness He was fed.
Inheritance unfading,
That is incorruptible;
Undecayed or degrading,
Heavenly accountable.
Kept by the power of God,
Through faith for a salvation;
His Spirit cleanses where flawed,
Makes you part of the foundation.
In this you will then rejoice,
As revealed in the last time;
As joys singing with your voice,
God erases all your crime.
Now for a little while,
Through manifold temptations;
You grieved through life’s trial,
Causing many vexations.
Of your faith you are tested,
To be more precious than gold;
Through fire is invested,
Leaving glory to unfold.
Although you have not seen Him,
Through faith you love and believe;
Glory fills spiritual vim,
For salvation you receive.
The outcome that you obtain,
For salvation of your soul;
As the prophets ascertain,
That the grace maintained control.
It is revealed unto them,
Themselves should never be served;
Serve God or He will condemn,
You lose what He has reserved.
