Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 177.

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.
