1 We praise Thee for Thy righteousness;
Thy justice, Father, we confess,
Thou art the judge of all mankind,
2 O holy Father, righteous One,
Thy righteousness upholds Thy throne,
'Tis through this righteousness of Thine
3 Thy righteousness has caused Thy Son
Thy righteousness has justified
4 That Thou might show Thy righteousness,
With Thy forgiveness Thou didst bless
For Thee Thy righteousness to show,
5 All people Thou wilt judge one day,
Thy righteousness to all display
Yet fast we'll stand, for none can move,
6 With justice is Thy kingdom filled,
And peace upon it Thou dost build
In the new heaven and new earth
