The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1134

1134. Cover with His Life

1. Look upon Jesus, sinless is He;
Father, impute His life unto me.
My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,
Cover with His life, whiter than snow.

Refrain
Cover with His life, whiter than snow;
Fullness of His life then shall I know;
My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,
Cover with His life, whiter than snow.

2. Deep are the wounds transgression has made;
Red are the stains; my soul is afraid.
O to be covered, Jesus, with Thee,
Safe from the law that now judgeth me! [Refrain]

3. Longing the joy of pardon to know;
Jesus holds out a robe white as snow;
Lord, I accept it! leaving my own,
Gladly I wear Thy pure life alone. [Refrain]

4. Reconciled by His death for my sin,
Justified by His life pure and clean,
Sanctified by obeying His Word,
Glorified when returneth my Lord. [Refrain]
