Author: Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760; John Wesley, 1703-1791 Hymnal: CP1998 #629 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 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 Bold shall I stand in thy great day;
for who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am
from sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 Jesus, be endless praise to thee,
whose boundless mercy hath for me–
for me a full atonement made,
an everlasting ransom paid.
4 O let the dead now hear thy voice;
now bid thy banished ones rejoice;
their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, thy blood and righteousness.
