XVI. Blessed are the sons of God

1 Blessed are the sons of God,
They are bought with Jesu's blood,
They are ransom'd from the grave,
Life eternal they shall have.
With them number'd may we be,
Now and thro' eternity!

2 God did leave them to his Son,
Long before the world begun;
They the seal of this receive
When on Jesus they believe.
With them number'd may we be,
Now and thro' eternity!

3 They are justify'd by grace,
They enjoy a solid peace;
All their sins are wash'd away,
They shall stand in God's great day.
With them number'd may we be,
Now and thro' eternity!

4 They produce the fruits of grace,
In the works of righteousness!
Born of God, they hate all sin,
God's pure seed remains within.
With them number'd may we be,
Now and thro' eternity!

5 They have fellowship with God
Thro' the Mediator's blood;
One with God, thro' Jesus one,
Glory is in them begun.
With them number'd may we be,
Now and thro' eternity!

6 Tho' they suffer much on earth,
Strangers to the worldlings mirth,
Yet they have an inward joy,
Pleasures which can never cloy,
With them number'd may we be,
Now and thro' eternity!

7 They alone are truly blest,
Heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ;
They with love and peace are fill'd,
They are by his Spirit seal'd:
With them number'd may we be,
Now and thro' eternity!
