About this Hymn
There is no true faith, that is, justifying faith, that has not the righteousness of Christ for its object. All believers are forgiven and accepted, not for the sake of anything in them, or of anything that ever was, that is, or ever can be done by them, but wholly and solely for the sake of what Christ has done and suffered for them. This whole hymn expresses the same sentiment, from the beginning to the end. – John Wesley
Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 2
Bold shall I stand in that great day, for who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully absolved through these I am, from sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
Lord, I believe were sinners more than sands upon the ocean shore, thou hast for all a ransom paid, for all a full atonement made.
