“Christ is the Lord our Righteousness”


 
A hymn written by S. Turner

(1)

Christ is the Lord our Righteousness,
      (For so the Scripture saith).
And justified, through Him, by grace,
      I live by precious faith.

(2)

Christ is the only way to God,
      To glory He's the path;
And through rich grace, in that sure road,
      I walk by precious faith.

(3)

Christ is the Living Bread from heaven,
      Which saves from second death,
And on that Bread to me 'tis given
      To feed by precious faith.

(4)

Christ is my Captain, full of might,
      And whilst I dwell on earth,
He will enable me to fight
      The fight of precious faith.

(5)

Christ is my Rock, and though my foes
      Display their utmost wrath,
Yet in the power which He bestows
      I stand by precious faith.

(6)

Christ is my Guide, and will be so
      Till I resign my breath;
Then shall I bid this world adieu,
      And die in precious faith.
