JESUS, Thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2
Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
3
When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
E’en then shall this be all my plea,
Jesus hath lived and died for me.
4
Bold shall I stand in that great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, by Thee, absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
5
This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue;
Its glory is forever new.
6
Thou God of power, Thou God of love,
Let all the world Thy mercy prove;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus the Lord, our Righteousness.
