Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
Author: Nicolaus Ludwig Zinzendorf Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 499 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:14 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully through these absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its constant hue;
Thy blood preserves it ever new.
4 O let the dead now hear Thy voice;
Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice!
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness!
5 When from the dust of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
Then this shall be my only plea:
"Jesus hath lived and died for me."
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification; Advent, Third Sunday; Lenten Hymns; Blood of Christ; Names and Office of Christ Righteousness Used With Tune: MESSIAH

Alleluia with verses
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
Author: Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 439 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:11-12 Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on; spend and be spent,--
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went:
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught;
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not:
The Master praises,--what are men?
3 Go, labor on; enough, while here,
If he shall praise thee, if he deign
Thy willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal: Behold, I come!

Lord of All Being, Throned Afar
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 429 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:10-11 Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
Your glory flames from sun and star;
Center and soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life, your quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope, your softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Lord of all life, below, above,
Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
Before your ever-blazing throne
We ask no luster of our own.
4 Grant us your truth for which we yearn,
And kindling hearts that for you burn,
Till all your living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame.

As when the weary traveler gains
Author: Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:11-12 Lyrics: 1 As when the weary traveler gains
The height of some o'erlooking hill,
His heart revives, if, 'cross the plains,
He eyes his home, though distant still.
2 So when the Christian pilgrim views,
By faith, his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
3 'Tis there, he says, I am to dwell
With Jesus in the realms of day;
Then shall I bid my cares farewell,
And he will wipe my tears away.
