HYMN 60. Christs righteousness Wed. gar.
Mat. 22.11, 12. And he said unto him, Friend, how camest thou hither, not having on a Wedding-garment?
1 OF Garments there's necessity, Since sin at first came in; We needed none when Innocent, We naked were by sin:
2 So a righteousness we must have all, Sinners all naked be; We lost our Clothes by Adam's Fall, Must now be clothed by thee.
2 So a righteousness we must have all, Sinners all naked be; We lost our Cloaths by Adam's Fall, Must now be cloath'd by thee.
