<poem>
Jesu, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress:
Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
 
Bold shall I stand in thy great day;
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am,
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
 
Ah! give to all thy servants, Lord,
With pow'r to speak thy gracious word;
That all who to thy wounds will flee
May find eternal life in thee.
 
Thou God of pow'r, thou God of love,
Let the whole world thy mercy prove!
Now let thy word o'er all prevail;
Now take the spoils of death and hell.
