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!
