Note: Said Luther: "Learn to know Christ and Him crucified. Learn to sing a new song - to despair of your own works, and to cry unto Him, Lord Jesus, Thou art my righteousness, and I am Thy sin. Thou hast taken upon Thee what is mine, and given me what was Thine; what Thou wast not Thou becamest, that I might become what I was not." D' Aubigne's "History of the Reformation," book 2, chap. 8..
Look upon Jesus, sinless is He;
Father, impute His life upon me.
My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,
Cover with HIs life, whiter than snow.
Deep are the wounds transgression has made:
Red are the stains; my soul is afraid.
O to be covered, Jesus, with Thee,
Safe from the law that now judgeth me!
Longing the joy of pardon to know;
Jesus holds out a robe white as snow;
"Lord, I accept it! leaving my own,
Gladly I wear Thy pure life alone."
Reconciled by His death for my sin,
Justified by His life pure and clean,
Sanctified by obeying His word,
Glorified when returneth my Lord.
