blessed are the sons of god

blessed are the sons of god,
they are bought with christ's own blood;
they are ransomed from the grave,
life eternal they shall have:
with them numbered may we be
here and in eternity!

they are justified by grace,
they enjoy the savior'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.
