A Few Hymns and Some Spiritual Songs. Selected 1856, for the Little Flock. Revised, 1881 ‎#73

73. The Lord of life in death hath lain

1 The Lord of life in death hath lain,
To clear me from all charge of sin;
And, Lord, from guilt of crimson stain
Thy precious blood hath made me clean.

2 And now a righteousness divine
Is all my glory, all my trust;
Nor will I fear, since that is mind,
While Thou dost live and God is just.

3 Clad in this robe, how bright I shine!
Angels posess not such a dress;
Angels have not a robe like mine,--
Jesus the Lord's my righteousness.
