Lord’s Day 22 in Song
THE RESURECTION OF THE BODY…
1.) Not only will my soul be raised,
To be with Christ my head,
My mortal body, by His power
Will be raised from the dead.
2.) Both, reunited, body and soul;
My flesh as Christ’s own flesh,
To life, for all eternity
Renewed, forever fresh.
3.) Already now feel in my heart,
In Him, with boundless joy,
New life! Eternal blessedness
Refreshed in His employ.
4.) Such as no eye has seen, received,
Nor human ear has heard,
Nor in the heart of man conceived,
Through Christ, on me conferred.
Copied from Book of Praise Anglo Genevan Psalter

nor the heart of man conceived—
a blessedness in which to praise God forever.2
