“The Lord our Righteousness.” Jer. 23. 6; Exod. 15. 2

1 Jehovah is my righteousness;
  In him alone I’ll boast;
  My tongue his mercy shall confess
  Who seeks and saves the lost.

2 When sunk in fears, with anguish pressed,
  Bowed down with weighty woe,
  My weary soul in him finds rest;
  From him my comforts flow.

3 I’ll lay me down, and sweetly sleep,
  For I have peace with God;
  And when I wake he shall me keep,
  Through faith in Jesus’ blood.

4 Ten thousand and ten thousand foes
  Shall not my soul destroy;
  My God their counsels overthrows,
  And turns my grief to joy.
