God our Father, we adore Thee,

God our Father, we adore Thee, For the sake of righteousness; Thou in Christ hast justified us, Who our conscience can depress? Thou art righteous, and art faithful, On Thy righteousness we stand; No unrighteousness is in Thee, None can turn Thy righteous hand.

Thou hast laid our sins on Jesus, By Thy justice He was killed; All Thy holy law's requirements For Thy justice He fulfilled. Recompense from Him receiving, Thou art fully satisfied; How couldst Thou, O God most righteous, Claim it once more from our side?

Father God, Thou hast accepted Jesus as our Substitute; Judged the Just One for the unjust, Couldst Thou change Thy attitude? As a proof of perfect justice, At Thine own right hand He sits; He, as Thy full satisfaction, Righteously Thy need befits.

Father, through the blood of Jesus We possess Thy righteousness; By Thy righteousness protected, None can shake our steadfastness. Righteousness of Thine Thou mad'st us, None can ever us condemn; We'll forever testify this In the new Jerusalem.
