LyicsBlessed are the sons of God;
They are bought with Jesus' blood;
They are ransomed from the grave;
Life eternal they shall have:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, an din eternity.
They are justified by grace,
They enjoy the Saviour's peace;
All their sins are washed away;
They shall stand in God's great day:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
They are lights upon the earth, --
Children of a heavenly birth, --
One with God, with Jesus one;
Glory is in them begun;
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
