Jesus, Your Blood and Righteousness
GARDINER L.M.
PRIESTHOOD
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.
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.
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.
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.

To claim my mansion in the skies,
