Jesus is clothed in justice,
His judgments shine so true;
His heart defends the helpless,
Giving strength to those made new.
Like the rain on thirsty meadows,
Like soft showers on tender grain,
His peace flow through the nations
Ever light and gentle as the falling rain.
His righteousness blooms before Him,
And His compassion never ceases;
In every valley lifted upward,
He bwcomes the desert filled with peace.
Kings will kneel and bring their treasure,
Distant shores will praise His name;
For He hears the poor in trouble,
And He lifts the weak and lame.
He redeems from every violence,
Precious is their life to Him;
In His care the lost find refuge,
Hope returning, never dim.
Blessed be the Lord forever,
God of wonders, God of might;
All the earth declare His glory,
Fill the world with holy light.
His name endures forever,
Sun and moon His praise proclaim;
Every heart and every nation
Bless the King who came to reign.
