[Jesus, Angel of the Lord]

Take away the filthy garments from him. —iii. 4.

Jesus, Angel of the Lord,
I stand before Thy face,
Foul, and by myself abhorr'd,
I humbly sue for grace;
Take these filthy rags away,
My guilt, and inbred sin remove,
In Thy righteousness array,
And crown me with Thy love.
