1. THE God of peace, who from the dead
Hath raised our dying Lord,
And, through the covenant in his blood,
Our souls to peace, restored:—

2. Confirm our hearts, in each good work,
To do his perfect will;
That, made well pleasing in his sight,
Our course with joy we fill.

3. So shall we, in his heavenly courts,
Hereafter, ever live;
And to his name, through Jesus Christ,
Eternal glory give.
