My Robe of Righteousness

Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined #151 (1922) First Line: There's a robe that I shall wear when I pass from earth Refrain First Line: When Jesus lays the robe of His righteousness over me Lyrics: 1 There’s a robe that I shall wear when I pass from earth, Thro’ the starlit realms of space, When the messenger of God shall my spirit bear To its real abiding place. Refrain: When Jesus lays the robe of His righteousness over me, over me, There’s nothing that I’ll need, more, But I’ll enter the open door, When Jesus lays the robe of His righteousness over me, over me, His mercy I’ll praise thro’ endless days For saving a sinner like me. 2 ‘Tis a robe of righteousness woven not by me, But by Him whose name I bear, There will be no stain of sin on its priceless folds, Nor a blemish anywhere. [Refrain] 3 When that robe is over me ‘tis no longer I But the Christ of Calvary, And when I approach the throne, having naught to plead, He will lay it over me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a robe that I shall wear when I pass from earth]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Author of "My robe of righteousness" Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
