Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness!

					L.M.

1	Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness!
	Our beauty Thou, out glorious dress;
	‘Midst flaming worlds, whilst thus arrayed,
	With joy shall we lift up our head.

2	Bold shall we stand in that great day,
	For who aught to our charge shall lay?
	While by Thy blood absolved we are
	From sin’s tremendous curse and fear.

3	Thus Abraham, the friend of God,
	Thus all the saints redeemed by blood,
	Saviour of sinners Thee proclaim,
	And all their boast is in Thy name.
		
4	Till we behold Thee on Thy throne,
	In Thee we boast, in Thee alone;
	Our beauty this, our glorious dress,
	Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness!
