Blest Be The God And Father

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ; according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world's foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love; having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to [the] praise of [the] glory of his grace, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved: Ephesians 1:3-6

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead, 1 Peter 1:3

  1. Ephesians 1:3-6, 1 Peter 1:3Blest be the God and Father

    Ephesians 1:3-6, 1 Peter 1:3Of Jesus Christ the Son,

    Ephesians 1:4, 2 Thessalonians 2:16Who chose us for all blessing

    Ephesians 1:4, Titus 1:2Ere time had yet begun;

    1 Peter 1:18, Galatians 3:13That we, redeemed, His loved ones,

    Revelation 21:3, Colossians 3:1Might dwell with Him above,

    Ephesians 3:18, Romans 8:38,39And know the depth and fulness

    Ephesians 3:19, Romans 8:38,39Of His unbounded love.

  2. John 16:27, 2 Thessalonians 2:16Where all those deep affections,

    Ephesians 1:5,6, 2 Thessalonians 2:16Which fill the Father's heart,

    Ephesians 1:5,6, 2 Thessalonians 2:16Shall find their satisfaction,

    John 17:13, 2 Thessalonians 2:16Their joy to us impart;

    Hebrews 2:10, Revelation 4:4There we, Himself surrounding,

    Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6Shall "Abba, Father!" say,

    John 14:2, Jude 1:24Within those many mansions,

    John 14:2,3, Jude 1:24Preparèd for that day.

  3. 2 Peter 3:12, Romans 8:25E'en whilst we here are waiting

    Revelation 21:3, Hebrews 4:7His rest on high to share,

    Hebrews 2:10, Galatians 3:26We know our blest relation

    Hebrews 2:10, Galatians 3:26As sons before Him there;

    Romans 8:14, Galatians 4:6And by His Spirit's leading,

    Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6We "Abba, Father!" cry;

    Romans 8:18,23, 2 Corinthians 5:2With ever-growing longing

    Romans 8:18, 2 Corinthians 5:5We seek our place on high.
