Blest Be the Everlasting God by Isaac Watts, 1707 PETERBORO—Rev. Ralph Harrison Blest Be the Everlasting God 1 Blest be the everlasting God, The Father of our Lord; Be His abounding mercy praised, His majesty adored. Chorus When from the dead He raised His Son And called Him to the sky, He gave our souls a living hope That they should never die. 2 Saints by the pow’r of God are kept, Till the salvation come; We walk by faith as strangers here, Till Christ shall call us home.
