3 A Garment covereth our shame, Sin is a filthy thing; Thou to hide it, Lord, hither came, Thy Robe's a covering.
4 Thy Righteousness is that Robe too Which hides all filth within; Such shall no shame for ever know, Who have no stain of sin.
5 Thy Righteousness is spotless, pure, And thou dost it impute To us, O Lord, we have it sure, And well it doth us suit:
For nothing but this Garment could Make us accepted be; None justified ever shall Without it be by thee:
7 But every one that hath this on They justified are, And therefore let Believers sing Who this rich Robe do wear.
