PLEASE NOTE: Not all verses may be sung and words may vary in the particular hymn presentation.

Beloved, Now Are We
Words: Daniel Webster Whittle (1840–1901)
Music: Beloved, Now Are We | James McGranahan (1840–1907)
1. 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.

2. Blessèd hope now brightly beaming,
On our God we soon shall gaze;
And in light celestial gleaming,
We shall see our Savior’s face.

3. By the pow’r of grace transforming,
We shall then His image bear;
Christ His promised word performing,
We shall then His glory share.

Refrain:
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.
