We praise Thee for Thy righteousness;
Thy justice, Father, we confess,
And fully testify.
Thou art the judge of all mankind,
In Thee injustice none can find,
Nor wrong to Thee apply.

O holy Father, righteous One,
Thy righteousness upholds Thy throne,
’Tis a foundation sure.
’Tis through this righteousness of Thine
That reigns in Christ the grace divine,
And peace we thus secure.

Thy righteousness has caused Thy Son
To die for us that we be won,
Redemption thus was bought;
Thy righteousness has justified
When Christ’s redemption was applied,
Salvation thus was wrought.

That Thou might show Thy righteousness,
With Thy forgiveness Thou didst bless
Men in the ancient age;
For Thee Thy righteousness to show,
Remission Thou dost now bestow
On sinners in this age.

All people Thou wilt judge one day,
Thy righteousness to all display
By Christ, Thy Son, our Lord;
Yet fast we’ll stand, for none can move,
Thy righteousness we’ll ever prove,
With grace Thou wilt afford.

With justice is Thy kingdom filled,
And peace upon it Thou dost build
With all in harmony;
In the new heaven and new earth
Thy righteousness will be their worth,
As promised, God, by Thee.

THE CROSS MANIFESTING
GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LOVE
Hence, the cross is where God’s righteousness is manifested. The cross shows us how much God hates sin. He is determined to judge sin. He was willing to pay such a great price as to have His Son nailed on the cross. God was not willing to give up His righteousness. If God were willing to give up His righteousness, the cross would have been unnecessary. Because God was not willing to give up His righteousness, He preferred to have His Son die rather than give up His righteousness.
The cross is also the place where God’s love is manifested. The burden for our sins should be on us. If we do not bear it, it is unrighteous. But to bear such a burden is too much for us. For this reason, He came and bore it for us. That God was willing to bear the burden shows His love. That God actually did bear the burden shows His righteousness. For God to have us bear the punishment is righteousness without love. For God to have us not bear the punishment is love without righteousness. Because He takes away the punishment and bears it for us, there is both righteousness and love. Hallelujah! The cross meets the requirement of righteousness and the requirement of love. Our salvation today is not “backdoor merchandise”; we have not received it fraudulently or improperly. We have not been saved illegally. We have been saved in a clear and definite way through judgment.

Praise Him! We can live to righteousness

We need to be solemnly warned concerning the Lord’s coming and have the living that He requires in order for us to gain the reward, the crown of righteousness, at His return.
Lord, may we be those who will receive the incorruptible crown at the end of our triumphant Christian race!

A poetic hymn that beautifully praises God's righteousness and justice. The verses convey a deep sense of gratitude for the foundation of His throne and the assurance of redemption through Christ. The hymn eloquently captures the unfolding of salvation and the eventual display of God's righteousness to all.

Отец, за праведноть твою
Мы воздаем тебе хвалу,
Свидетельство неся:
Ты совершенно справедлив,
Лишь ты судьей достоин быть
Для человечества.

Not only did the Lord Jesus live a life that was a model for us, but also lived a life absolutely under God's government and I praise Him for His righteous judgment on those He called. Praise the Lord.
