1 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 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved thro' these I am,
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e'en for my soul, was shed.
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.
AMEN.
