Happy are the sons of God,
They are bought with Jesus’ blood,
They are ransomed from the grave,
Life eternal they will have:
All their sins are washed away,
Bright to them the judgement day;
With them numbered may we be,
here, and in eternity.
Children of a heavenly birth,
They are blessings to the earth:
They produce the fruits of grace,
In the works of righteousness:
One with God, with Jesus one,
Glory is in them begun;
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
Though by wisdom taught, they fly
From forbidden revelry,
Yet they have superior joys,
Which not death itself destroys;
Blessed of God, for ever blessed,
They with Jesus soon will rest:
With them numbered may be we,
Here, and in eternity.
