O Jesus Christ, the righteous, live in me

Verse 1

O Jesus Christ the righteous! live in me, That, when in glory I thy face shall see, Within the Father's house, my glorious dress May be the garment of thy righteousness.

Verse 2

Then thou wilt welcome me, O righteous Lord, Thine all the merit, mine the great reward; Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down, Thine the thorn-plaited, mine the righteous crown.

Verse 3

Naught can I bring, dear Lord, for all I owe; Yet let my full heart what it can bestow; Like Mary's gift let my devotion prove, Forgiven greatly, how I greatly love.
