106. Thus saith the Lord to those that stand

1 Thus saith the Lord to those that stand
And wait to hear his great command,
“I have a sinner to renew,
And, lo! this charge I give to you.

2 “Pull his polluted garments off;
Here, soul, here’s raiment rich enough;
Clothe thee with righteousness divine;
Not creature’s righteousness, but mine.

3 “Satan avaunt; stand off, ye foes;
In vain ye rail, in vain oppose;
Your cancelled claim no more obtrude;
He’s mine; I bought him with my blood.

4 “Sinner, thou stand’st in me complete;
Though they accuse thee, I acquit;
I bore for thee the avenging ire,
And plucked thee burning from the fire.”
