Blessed be the God and Father by Stephen Jarvis — Lyrics
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which, according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us again to a lively hope,
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:
to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled,

About Blessed be the God and Father
Stephen Jarvis sets a profoundly encouraging text from the New Testament, celebrating God's abundant mercy and the believers' inheritance secured by Christ's resurrection. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies, underpinning the message of hope and divine protection. This sacred anthem, suitable for a range of church services, draws on the biblical passage to affirm faith and the incorruptible nature of salvation. The composer's setting emphasizes the steadfast power of God through faith, guiding the faithful towards an eternal reward reserved in heaven.
