Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A classic 18th-century Lutheran hymn by Count Zinzendorf, translated into English by John Wesley in 1740. It celebrates Christ's blood and righteousness as the believer's covering before God on the day of judgment.
Verse 1
Jesus, your blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
Verse 2
Bold shall I stand in that great day,
Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay;
For by your cross absolved I am
From sin and guilt, from fear and shame.
Verse 3
Lord, I believe your precious blood,
Which at the mercy seat of God
Pleads for the captives' liberty,
Was also shed in love for me.
Verse 4
When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
This then shall be my only plea:
Christ Jesus lived and died for me.
