God's Christ, who is my righteousness,
My beauty is, my glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in this arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
My beauty is, my glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in this arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.

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.
Which, at the mercy seat of God,
Forever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e'en for my soul, was shed.

Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full redemption made.
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full redemption made.

Bold can I stand in every way,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, by Thee, absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, by Thee, absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
Its glory is forever new.
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
Its glory is forever new.

Thou God of power, Thou God of love,
Let all Thy saints Thy mercy prove;
Our beauty this, our glorious dress,
Jesus the Lord, our Righteousness.
Let all Thy saints Thy mercy prove;
Our beauty this, our glorious dress,
Jesus the Lord, our Righteousness.

Oh this hymn is so deep! Even the title touches my being. “GOD CHRIST WHO IS MY RIGHTEOUSNESS”. Satan needs to hear these over and over again. The overcomers are those who enjoy and value the blood. Oh open our eyes Lord to see what You’ve done and not what we are.

Thank You Lord for shedding blood for such a sinner in order to cleanse and justify. How I cannot say You are my Lord, love and righteousness. I regret and repent my life. Show me how to live rest of my life. I cannot believe in myself. Live out through me. I want to express You.

Hallelujah we are of God in Christ Jesus! This One is our righteousness. Thank the Lord He satisfied God’s righteous requirements so He could pay a ransom for us. We have full redemption! Praise Him!

Lord, I believe that when You ascended to the throne, You brought Your own blood. That blood allows me to stand before God with boldness because the entire situation has been appeased.

Last night I was impressed with the first stanza afresh.
O, Lord, amen, hallelujah!
"Midst flaming worlds, in this arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head."!!!!!
And I also enjoy the verse the way it's been translated into my language (Russian):
"Среди пылающих миров
Ликую я Ты мой покров."!!!!!!!!

I love and appreciate the Lord for His covering as our righteousness. Thank You Jesus Christ our robe of righteousness. May You gain Your heart's desire.

When a sinner believes, two basic but profound things happen, he is made righteous and is justified before God, hallelujah! And this new life union begins to develop. Lets Go, and tell the world.

The words to this song are so profound. Count Zinzendorf was surely a minister of the New Covenant in the Lord's move on the earth. Every time I sing this hymn, my heart wells up with love and appreciation for Christ. Praise the Lord!
(Just a note in response to the last entry... William Gardiner published this melody for the hymn "As a Shepherd Gently Leads Us." He identified Ludwig van Beethoven as the Composer, and himself as the Arranger.)
