O WHAT everlasting blessings God outpoureth on His own! Ours by promise true and faithful, spoken from the eternal throne; Ours by His eternal purpose ere the universe had place; Ours by everlasting covenant, ours by free and royal grace. With salvation everlasting He shall save us, He shall bless With the largess of Messiah, everlasting righteousness; Ours the everlasting mercy all His wondrous dealings prove; Ours His everlasting kindness, fruit of everlasting love. In the Lord Jehovah trusting, everlasting strength have we; He Himself, our Sun, our Glory, Everlasting Light shall be; Everlasting life is ours, purchased by The Life laid down; And our heads, oft bowed and weary, everlasting joy shall crown. We shall dwell with Christ forever, when the shadows flee away, In the everlasting glory of the everlasting day. Unto Thee, beloved Saviour, everlasting thanks belong, Everlasting adoration, everlasting laud and song! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FOUNTAIN (1) by SARA TEASDALE THE DYING DECADENT by LOUIS UNTERMEYER VISIONS OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ALBION by WILLIAM BLAKE COMIN' THRO' THE RYE by ROBERT BURNS EVENING CLOUDS by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE WITHOUT AND WITHIN by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL |
