	NOW may the God of peace and love,    Who from the stone-sealed grave Restored the Shepherd of the sheep,     Omnipotent to save . . .
2	Through the rich merits of that blood     Which He on Calvary spilt, To make the eternal covenant sure,     On which our hopes are built . . .
3	Perfect our souls in every grace,     To honour all His will; And all that’s pleasing in His sight     Inspire us to fulfil!
4	For the great Mediator’s sake,     We for these blessings pray; With glory let His name be crowned,     Through Heaven’s eternal day!
	Thomas Gibbons, 1720-85
