Imputed Righteousness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 503 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Justification First Line: Jesus, thy blood and righteousness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; Midst flaming worlds, in these array'd, 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 this be all my plea "Jesus hath liv'd and dy'd for me." 3 Bold shall I stand in thy great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay? 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. Scripture: Jeremiah 23:6 Text Sources: Madan's Collecition

Whilst all my brethren clearly trace Their father's likeness in my face. Scripture: John 1:12

Our ransom he paid! In his merit array'd, We attain to the glory for which we were made. 4 Sweet spirit of grace, Thy mercy we bless For thy eminent share in the council of peace: Great agent divine, To restore us is thine, And cause us afresh in thy likeness to shine. 5 O God, ’tis thy part To convince and convert: To give a new life, and create a new heart: By thy presence and grace We’re upheld in our race, And are kept in thy love to the end of our days. 6 Father, Spirit and Son Agree thus in one, The salvation of those he has mark'd for his own: Let us too agree To glorify thee, Thou ineffable one, thou adorable three?
