Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
Hymn 66
1
Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2
Bold shall I stand in thy great day;
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved, through these, I am,
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3
This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
The robe of Christ is ever new.
4
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.
5
O, let the dead now hear thy voice;
Now bid thy banished ones rejoice;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
"Jesus, the Lord, our Righteousness."
