We are God’s people,
The sheep of His pasture,
Sinners He came to redeem.
We are God’s people,
His chosen generation,
People, who Christ’s love esteem.
We are God’s people,
Released from sin’s darkness,
Rescued from unending night.
We are God’s people,
Washed in the fountain,
Placed in His marvelous light.
We are God’s people,
A nation that’s holy,
Purchased, His Word we obey.
We are God’s people,
Select, peculiar to Him,
Learning to follow His way.
We are God’s people,
Blessed with mercy and grace,
Adherents to His known will.
We are God’s people,
Strangers and pilgrims on earth,
Saved, with good works to fulfil.
We are God’s people,
A royal priesthood,
The King’s children, here below.
We are God’s people,
Ambassadors of heaven,
His glory and praises to show.
