112. Eternal Praise, Our God, Shall Rise

8,8,6.

1
Eternal praise, our God, shall rise:
 
In mansions far beyond the skies
 
Thy name shall be adored.
 
With joyful hearts our songs we raise;
 
Our God and Father, Thee we praise,
 
While waiting for our Lord.
“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” (1 Thessalonians 1:10)
2
When ruined, guilty and undone,
 
Thou gav’st for us Thine only Son,
 
We trust Thy truthful Word.
 
Rejoicing in Thy love we sing,
 
Praise for Thy gift of gifts we bring,
 
Thy goodness we record.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:10)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.” (John 17:7)
“Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the Lord by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord, to offer the burnt offerings of the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.” (2 Chronicles 23:18)
“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” (2 Corinthians 9:15)
3
We praise Thee in our pathway here,
 
Far off we were, but now brought near
 
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
Fresh grace for every moment here,
 
Fresh manna o’er the desert drear
 
Thy Spirit doth afford.
4
When Thou shalt come, for whom we wait,
 
We then shall see and know how great
 
The gain that faith hath stored.
 
With joyful hearts our songs we raise;
 
Our God and Father, now to praise,
 
While waiting for our Lord.
“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Timothy 4:8)
