Hymn 20  

SUBJECT: WORSHIP OF THE FATHER—HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
METER: 8.7.8.7.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Franz Joseph Haydn

1God 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.
2Thou 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?
3Father 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.
4Father, through the blood of Jesus
  We possess Thy righteousness;
 By Thy righteousness protected,
  None can shake our stedfastness.
 Righteousness of Thine Thou mad’st us,
  None can ever us condemn;
 We’ll forever testify this
  In the new Jerusalem.
