Now are we Sons of God!

Hymnal: Christian Hymns, Poems, and Spiritual Songs #I.XIII (1776) Lyrics: 1 Now are we Sons of God! Nor doth it yet appear, What Heights of Bliss, thro' Jesu's Blood, For us prepared are. 2 This we already know, When Christ, our Righteousness, Shall shew himself to Men below, We shall be as he is. 3 Yea, in this World are we, As Jesus is above; As him, from Sin and Satan free, As perfected in Love. 4 Invisible are we To this blind World below; There's none but such who Jesus see, Can us discern or know. 5 All that which doth appear Of us, or can be known, By Reason's Eye, to Mortals here, We utterly disown. 6 We call it Dung and Dross, The Man from whom we cease; To own it ours, is Pain and Loss, And saps the Christian's Peace. 7 Jesus alone we own, And nothing know beside; In him, as free from Sin, we're known, His pure and holy Bride. 8 In him we now confess, We are the Lord's Delight, His Rest, his Joy and Righteousness, All glorious in his Sight. 9 We are as we would be; Nor have we yet to choose; As Christ the Son, we're ever free, Nor can that Sonship lose.
