- 1Blessed 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.
- 2They 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.
- 3They 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.
