Zinzendorf (217/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Zinzendorf 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 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. 3 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, E’en then shall this be all my plea, Jesus hath lived and died for me. 4 Bold shall I stand in that great day, 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 the world Thy mercy prove; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus the Lord, our Righteousness.
