Christ’s Righteousness. Isa. 45. 24; 1 Cor. 1. 30

1 When to worship saints assemble,
  Let the song to Jesus flow.
  He forsook his ancient glory,
  Groaned and bled for worms below.
  Ransomed mortals,
  Join to swell the sacred song.

2 Ye who find yourselves polluted,
  Feel your hearts a sink of sin,
  Ye shall have by God imputed,
  Righteousness that’s white and clean.
  ’Tis the garment
  Wove by everlasting love.

3 ’Tis Jehovah’s own providing;
  Better, wisdom can’t devise;
  From his eye for ever hiding
  Sins of every name and size;
  He that wears it
  Is by God exalted high.

4 Adam, when the tempter foiled him,
  His bright robes were quickly gone;
  But this righteousness of Jesus
  Once applied, ’tis always on;
  ’Tis their title
  To the mansion love ordained.
