HYMN 127.

[If we are Children of the Lord]

Rom. 8. 17. If Children, then Heirs.

If we are Children of the Lord
By being born again,
Then are we also Heirs with Christ,
And with him we shall reign.
He that's an Heir to a great King,
He is a Prince by birth;
And so is each true Child of God,
The holy Scripture faith.
291

The Heir shall the Inheritance
At last Possession have,
And so shall all Believers too
The Crown at last receive.
But as the Heir must wait awhile
Until he comes to age,
So must we all with patience wait
Till we have run our stage.
The Heir is likely richly cloath'd,
Whereby it is he's known;
So all God's Saints with holiness
Are cloathed ev'ry one.
The Heir, as the Birth-right of old,
The Blessing had always;
So all the Saints chief Blessings have,
And therefore sing God's praise.
