526: Blessed Are the Sons of God
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)
