Laudes Domini ‎#430

430. Brotherly Love

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:
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:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

3 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.
