1 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: Refrain: With them numbered may we be, Here and in eternity. 2 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: (Refrain) 3 They are lights upon the earth, Children of a heav'nly birth; One with God, with Jesus one, Glory is in them begun: (Refrain)
