16. Many Sons to Glory Bringing

8,7.
by M. Bowley
1
Many sons to glory bringing,
 
God sets forth His heavenly name;
 
On we march in chorus singing,
 
"Worthy the ascended Lamb!"
“For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” (Hebrews 2:10)
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Revelation 5:9)
2
God who gave the blood to screen us,
 
God looks down in perfect love;
 
Clouds may seem to pass between us,
 
There’s no change in Him above.
“And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12:13)
3
Though the restless foe accuses,
 
Sins recounting like a flood;
 
Every charge our God refuses:
 
Christ has answered with His blood.
4
In the refuge God provided,
 
Though the world’s destruction lowers,
 
We are safe — to Christ confided,
 
Everlasting life is ours.
5
And ere long, when come to glory,
 
We shall sing a well-known strain,
 
This the never-tiring story,
 
"Worthy is the Lamb once slain!"
