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 Thv righteousness we stand; No unrighteousness is in Thee,

None can turn Thy righteous hand. Thou hast laid our sins on Jesus, Bv 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.

How faithful and trustworthy too, My Father God, art Thou; The universe and all therein Thy faithfulness avow. How stedfast is Thy faithfulness! For this I worship Thee; It is established in the heav'n, And ever stands for me.

No turning shadow could there be, Nor any change with Thee; As Thou hast been, and now Thou art, Forever Thou wilt be.

Thy word, as certain as Thyself, Can never pass away; Though heav'n and earth shall disappear, Thy word abides for aye.

Thy gifts without repentance are, Thy calling is the same; Thy grace forever lasting is, Thy mercy as Thy name.

Thy word with Thine own faithfulness A surety is to me; By it, with Thy salvation true, I have the certainty.

If, due to self, I trust Thee not, Yet Thou art faithful still; Thou never canst deny Thyself, Thy word Thou shalt fulfill.

As Thou art faithful to perform Thy promise and Thy call; So, feeding on Thy faithfulness, I take Thyself withal.

The rainbow round about Thy throne Thy faithfulness declares; This attribute forevermore The holy city bears.

Our Father, as the evergreen, Thou art forever new; Thou art the ever living Lord, Thy freshness as the dew. O Father, Thou art unchanging, Thou never hast grown old; Thru countless ages, ever fresh, Thy newness doth unfold.

O Thou art God, and Thou art "new"; Without Thee all is worn, But all with Thee is ever fresh, Though many years have gone.

Each blessing Thou hast given us Thy newness doth contain; Thy covenant, Thy ways are new, And ever thus remain.

Now we Thy new creation are New spirit and new heart; We're daily from the old renewed, New life Thou dost impart.

The earth and heavens will be new And Thy new city share; New fruits each month will be supplied, For all is newness there.

O Father, Thou art ever new, And all is new in Thee; We sing the new eternal song, New praise we give to Thee.

O God, Thou art transcendent, The Holy One Thou art! None other is Thine equal, Incomp'rable Thou art! The holiest of the holy The universe may call! Thy power and Thy nature Do far exceed it all!

Distinct, unique, and holy, Not only right and pure; Not only without defect, But with perfection more; For nothing can approach Thee, Nor e'er Thine equal be; If aught Thy place hath taken, 'Tis insult unto Thee.

The excellent excelling, The fairest of the fair, Yet differing from the finest, For none with Thee compare.
