Author: Nicholas Louis, Count Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #259a (1901) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully through these absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years:
No age can change its constant hue;
Thy blood preserves it ever new.
4 Oh, let the dead now hear Thy voice;
Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice!
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness!
5 When from the dust of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
E'en then this shall be all my plea,
"Jesus hath lived and died for me."
Amen.
