Our Boast and Blessing


“In God we boast all the day long, and praise Thy name forever” (Psalm 44:8).  “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20,21). 

In God alone we boast all day,
And praise His name forevermore. 
All we like sheep had gone astray,
But on the cross our sins He bore. 

Behold the blessing we have found
In Christ whom God brought from the dead.
His grace, His truth, and peace abound
On us for whom His blood was shed. 

The God of peace has brought again
Our Lord and Savior from the grave,
Who bore the curse for sinful men
To bless the souls He came to save. 

How great our risen Shepherd is
Who lives to work in us His will,
Who crowns with blessing all of His
With promises He will fulfill. 

To Jesus Christ our Lord be glory,
Both now and evermore the same,
As we recall redemption’s story
And praise our Savior’s holy name! 

How rightly, Lord, we boast in You,
And as on You we meditate
On what You did and yet shall do,
We stand amazed at love so great! 

O Lord, receive our heartfelt praise
As we are boasting all day long
Of blessing flowing from Your ways
Which we proclaim in joyful song!
