Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Saviour's breast; Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear! Mercy is all that's written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o'er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies Father, Thy mercy never dies. 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail, and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth's foundations melt away; Mercy's full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

Imputed Righteousness

While thro' thy blood absolv'd I am, From sins' tremendous curse and shame. 4 Thus Abraham the friend of God, Thus all the armies bought with blood, Savior of sinners thee proclaim, Sinners, of whom the chief I am. 5 This spotless robe the same appears When ruin'd nature sinks in years: No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new. 6 O! let the dead now hear thy voice, Bid, Lord, thy banish'd ones rejoice, Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our righteousness.

Human righteousness insufficieint to justify

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXXIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification; Justification First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease. 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Savior's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy son Who died for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me.
