"Righteousness"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion’s Hymns (common meter):

Ye souls condemn’d by Sinai’s law,
And sunk in deep distress,
To Calv’ry look, and comfort draw
From “Christ our Righteousness.”

This is the name by which he’s know,
The name his saints confess;
Gaze on him, humble soul, and own
“The Lord our Righteousness.”

A title just, a pardon seal’d,
A spotless wedding dress,
Yea, grace and glory are reveal’d
In “Christ our Righteousness.”

O, that my faith could Jesus claim,
No more should doubts depress;
Fain would I triumph in this name,
“The Lord our righteousness.”
