HYMN 20. (C. M.) Spiritual Apparel; namely, the Robe of Righteousness, and Garments of Salvation, Isaiah lxi. 10.
I
Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue,Prepare a tuneful voice,
In God, the life of all my joys,
Aloud will I rejoice.
II
'Tis he adorn'd my naked soul,And made salvation mine,
Upon a poor polluted worm
He makes his graces shine.
III
And lest the shadow of a spotShould on my soul be found,
He took the robe the Saviour wrought,
And cast it all around.
IV
How far the heavenly robe exceedsWhat earthly princes wear!
These ornaments how bright they shine!
How white the garments are!
V
The Spirit wrought my faith and love,And hope, and every grace;
But Jesus spent his life to work
The robe of righteousness.
VI
Strangely, my soul, art thou array'dBy the great Sacred Three:
In sweetest harmony of praise
Let all thy powers agree.
