The Imputed Righteousness of Christ. Isa. 61. 10
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 this be all my plea:
 
“Jesus has lived and died for me.”
3
Bold shall I stand in that great day,
 
For who aught to my charge shall lay,
 
While through thy blood absolved I am,
 
From sin’s tremendous curse and shame?
4
[Thus Abraham, the friend of God,
 
Thus all the armies bought with blood,
 
Saviour of sinners, thee proclaim –
 
Sinners, of whom the chief I am.]
5
This spotless robe the same appears,
 
When ruined 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 banished ones rejoice;
 
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
 
Jesus, the Lord our righteousness.
