Spiritual apparel. <br /> <br />Isa. 61:10. <br /> <br />Awake, my heart; arise, my tongue, <br />Prepare a tuneful voice; <br />In God, the life of all my joys, <br />Aloud will I rejoice. <br /> <br />'Tis he adorned my naked soul, <br />And made salvation mine; <br />Upon a poor polluted worm <br />He makes his graces shine. <br /> <br />And lest the shadow of a spot <br />Should on my soul be found, <br />He took the robe the Savior wrought, <br />And cast it all around. <br /> <br />How far the heav'nly robe exceeds <br />What earthly princes wear <br />These ornaments, how bright they shine! <br />How white the garments are! <br /> <br />The Spirit wrought my faith, and love, <br />And hope, and every grace; <br />But Jesus spent his life to work <br />The robe of righteousness. <br /> <br />Strangely, my soul, art thou arrayed <br />By the great Sacred Three! <br />In sweetest harmony of praise <br />Let all thy powers agree.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-20/
