Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness

 

                                                Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness

Have you ever considered how far Jesus’ blood on the cross reached? It was not for just one person, or for those living in that day. His blood reached out to all of us. The song says there were sinners more than sands upon the shore. Consider, what a burden that was to bear upon Jesus’ shoulders. He not only bled for the people of the day but for generations after, even beyond us. Now He sits upon the throne waiting for whom He ransomed Himself for our sins.

Lyrics by Nicolaus L. Zinzendorf, arranged by William Gardener’s

“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.

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.

Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, which, at the mercy seat of God, forever doth for sinners plead, for me, even for my soul was shed.

Lord, I believe were sinners more than sands upon the ocean shore, thou has for all a ransom paid, for all a full atonement paid. Amen.”
