Privileges of Adoption. Rom. 3. 24

1 Blessèd are the sons of God,
  They are bought with Jesus’ blood;
  They are ransomed from the grave
  Life eternal they shall have.

2 God did love them in his Son
  Long before the world began;
  They the seal of this receive,
  When in Jesus they believe.

3 They are justified by grace;
  They enjoy a solid peace;
  All their sins are washed away;
  They shall stand in God’s great day!

4 [They produce the fruits of grace,
  Clothed in Jesus’ righteousness;
  Born of God, they hate all sin;
  God’s pure seed remains within!]

5 They have fellowship with God,
  Through the Mediator’s blood;
  One with God, through Jesus one,
  Glory is in them begun!

6 Though they suffer much on earth,
  Strangers to the worldling’s mirth,
  Yet they have an inward joy,
  Pleasures which can never cloy.
