Author: John Wesley; Nicolaus L. Zinzendorf Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 500 hymnals Lyrics: 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 When from the dust of death I rise
To take my mansion in the skies,
E'en then shall be my only plea--
"Jesus hath lived, hath died for me."
3 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, through Thee, absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
4 This spotless robe the same appears
When ruined nature sinks in years;
Age cannot change its constant hue,
Thy blood preserves it ever new.
5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice,
Thy banished children shall rejoice;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness.
