God our Father, we adore Thee

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;

No unrighteousness is in Thee

None can turn Thy righteous hand.

Thou 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?

Father 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.

Father

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.
