295--God's Christ, who is my righteousness,

God's Christ, who is my righteousness,

295

	1.	God's Christ, who is my righteousness,
		My beauty is, my glorious dress;
		Midst flaming worlds, in this arrayed,
		With joy shall I lift up my head.
	2.	Lord, I believe Thy precious blood,
		Which, at the mercy seat of God,
		Forever doth for sinners plead,
		For me, e'en for my soul, was shed.
	3.	Lord, I believe were sinners more
		Than sands upon the ocean shore,
		Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
		For all a full redemption made.
	4.	Bold can I stand in every way,
		For who aught to my charge shall lay?
		Fully, by Thee, absolved I am
		>From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
	5.	This spotless robe the same appears,
		When ruined nature sinks in years;
		No age can change its glorious hue,
		Its glory is forever new.
	6.	Thou God of power, Thou God of love,
		Let all Thy saints Thy mercy prove;
		Our beauty this, our glorious dress,
		Jesus the Lord, our Righteousness.
