| 1 | We praise Thee for Thy righteousness; |
| | Thy justice, Father, we confess, |
| | | | And fully testify. |
| | Thou art the judge of all mankind, |
| | In Thee injustice none can find, |
| | | | Nor wrong to Thee apply. |
| 2 | O holy Father, righteous One, |
| | Thy righteousness upholds Thy throne, |
| | | | ‘Tis a foundation sure. |
| | ’Tis through this righteousness of Thine |
| | That reigns in Christ the grace divine, |
| | | | And peace we thus secure. |
| 3 | Thy righteousness has caused Thy Son |
| | To die for us that we be won, |
| | | | Redemption thus was bought; |
| | Thy righteousness has justified |
| | When Christ’s redemption was applied, |
| | | | Salvation thus was wrought. |
| 4 | That Thou might show Thy righteousness, |
| | With Thy forgiveness Thou didst bless |
| | | | Men in the ancient age; |
| | For Thee Thy righteousness to show, |
| | Remission Thou dost now bestow |
| | | | On sinners in this age. |
| 5 | All people Thou wilt judge one day, |
| | Thy righteousness to all display |
| | | | By Christ, Thy Son, our Lord; |
| | Yet fast we’ll stand, for none can move, |
| | Thy righteousness we’ll ever prove, |
| | | | With grace Thou wilt afford. |
| 6 | With justice is Thy kingdom filled, |
| | And peace upon it Thou dost build |
| | | | With all in harmony; |
| | In the new heaven and new earth |
| | Thy righteousness will be their worth, |
| | | | As promised, God, by Thee. |
