BLESSèD are the sons of God; They are bought with Jesus’ blood, They are ransomed from the grave, Life eternal they shall have. |
|||
2 | God did love them in His Son, Long before the world begun; They the seal of this receive, When on Jesus they believe. |
||
3 | They are justified by grace, They enjoy a solid peace; All their sins are washed away, They shall stand in God’s great Day. |
||
4 | They have fellowship with God, Through the Mediator’s blood; One with God, through Jesus one, Glory is in them begun. |
||
5 | Though they suffer much on earth Strangers to the worldling’s mirth, Yet they have an inward joy, Pleasures which can never cloy. |
||
6 | They alone are truly blest, Heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ; With them numbered may we be, Now and through eternity. |
