BLESSÈD are the sons of God; They are bought with Jesus’ blood, They are ransomed from the grave, Life eternal they shall have.
God did love them in His Son, Long before the world begun; They the seal of this receive, When on Jesus they believe.
They are justified by grace, They enjoy a solid peace; All their sins are washed away, They shall stand in God’s great Day.
They have fellowship with God, Through the Mediator’s blood; One with God, through Jesus one, Glory is in them begun.
Though they suffer much on earth Strangers to the worldling’s mirth, Yet they have an inward joy, Pleasures which can never cloy.
They alone are truly blest, Heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ; With them numbered may we be, Now and through eternity.
Joseph Humphreys, b 1720
