Hymn 319

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness

Meter: L.M.

Scripture: 1 Cor. 1:30

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 through these I am,

From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

3

The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb,

Who from the Father’s bosom came,

Who died for me, ev’n me, to atone,

Now for my Lord and God I own.

4

Lord, I believe Thy precious blood,

Which at the mercy-seat of God

For ever doth for sinners plead,

For me, ev’n for my soul, was shed.

5

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.

6

When from the dust of death I rise

To claim my mansion in the skies,

Ev’n then this shall be all my plea,

Jesus hath lived, hath died for me!
