Over All, God Blessed For Ever
Charles Wesley • English
Primary Scripture: Malachi 4:2
Verse 1
The day of Christ, the day of God We humbly hope with joy to see, Washed in the sanctifying blood Of an expiring Deity.
Verse 2
Who did for us His life resign, There is no other God but One, For all the plenitude divine Resides in the incarnate Son.
Verse 3
Spotless, sincere, without offense O may we to His day remain, Who trust the blood of God to cleanse Our souls from every sinful stain.
Verse 4
Lord, we believe the promise sure: The purchased Comforter impart, Apply Thy blood to make us pure, To keep us pure in life and heart.
Verse 5
Then let us see that day supreme, When none the Godhead shall deny, Thy sovereign majesty blaspheme, Or count Thee less than the Most High.
Verse 6
When all who Thee their God believe, Who here Thy last appearing love Shall Thy consummate joy receive, And see Thy glorious face above.
