1

Jesus, thy blood and righteousnessMy beauty are, my glorious dress;'Mid hosts of sin, in these arrayed,My soul shall never be afraid.

2

Lord, I believe thy precious blood,Which, at the mercy-seat of God,Forever doth for sinners plead,Can cleanse my guilty soul indeed.

3

Lord, I believe were sinners moreThan sands upon the ocean shore,Thou hast for all a ransom paid,For all a full provision made.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «346» (large) with the reference line «101, 336, 592.» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 101, 336 or 592); the hymn stands in the lower half of the right column of p. 114, below hymn 345, and ends at the foot of that column with «Nicolaus Zinzendorf» in italics (no period is printed after the name). The first word «JESUS» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «;» («dress ;»); it is closed up here. The printer's curly apostrophe is written straight («'Mid»). All four lines of each stanza are set flush (no alternate indent). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's («Forever», «'Mid»). No meter is printed (the text is L. M., 8.8.8.8, like the three tunes of the reference line).
