Belovèd, Now Are We

Sons of God

be­lov­èd in Je­sus!

O the won­drous word of grace;

In His Son the Fa­ther sees us

And as sons He gives us place.

Belovèd

now are we the sons of God

And it doth not yet ap­pear what we shall be;

But we know that when He shall ap­pear;

We know that when He shall ap­pear

We shall be like Him

we shall be like Him

For we shall see Him as He is.

Blessèd hope now bright­ly beam­ing

On our God we soon shall gaze;

And in light ce­les­ti­al gleam­ing

We shall see our Sav­ior’s face.

By the pow­er of grace trans­form­ing

We shall then His im­age bear;

Christ His pro­mised word per­form­ing

We shall then His glo­ry share.
