We praise Thee for Thy righteousness

We praise Thee for Thy righteousness;

Thy justice

Father

we confess

And fully testify.

Thou art the judge of all mankind

In Thee injustice none can find

Nor wrong to Thee apply.

O holy Father

righteous One

Thy righteousness upholds Thy throne

’Tis a foundation sure.

’Tis through this righteousness of Thine

That reigns in Christ the grace divine

And peace we thus secure.

Thy righteousness has caused Thy Son

To die for us that we be won

Redemption thus was bought;

Thy righteousness has justified

When Christ’s redemption was applied

Salvation thus was wrought.

That Thou might show Thy righteousness

With Thy forgiveness Thou didst bless

Men in the ancient age;

For Thee Thy righteousness to show

Remission Thou dost now bestow

On sinners in this age.

All people Thou wilt judge one day

Thy righteousness to all display

By Christ

Thy Son

our Lord;

Yet fast we’ll stand

for none can move

Thy righteousness we’ll ever prove

With grace Thou wilt afford.

With justice is Thy kingdom filled

And peace upon it Thou dost build

With all in harmony;

In the new heaven and new earth

Thy righteousness will be their worth

As promised

God

by Thee.
