1 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;
2 Thou hast laid our sins on Jesus,
All Thy holy law's requirements
Recompense from Him receiving,
3 Father God, Thou hast accepted
Judged the Just One for the unjust,
Couldst Thou change Thy attitude?
As a proof of perfect justice,
4 Father, through the blood of Jesus
By Thy righteousness protected,
None can shake our steadfastness.
