Words by Nicolaus L Von Zinzendorf (trans John Wesley)
1. Jesus, your blood and righteousness
my beauty are, my glorious dress;
mid burning worlds, in these arrayed,
with joy I shall lift up my head.
Bold shall I stand on your great day
and none condemn me, try who may;
fully absolved by you I am
from sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
2. When from the dust of death I rise,
to claim my home beyond the skies,
then this shall be my only plea:
Jesus has lived, has died for me.
O give to all your servants, Lord,
to speak with power your gracious word,
that all who now believe it true
may find eternal life in you.
3. O God of power, O God of love,
let all the world your mercy prove;
now let your word in all prevail;
Lord, take the spoils of death and hell!
O let the dead now hear your voice;
let those once lost in sin rejoice!
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, your blood and righteousness |
