Rom. 8.17. If Children, then Heirs.
1 IF we are Children of the Lord By being born again, Then are we also Heirs with Christ, And with him we shall reign.
2 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 saith.
3 The Heir shall the Inheritance At last Possession have, And so shall all Believers too The Crown at last receive.
4 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.
