Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.
The hope of heaven, where I shall wear the white robe, sweetens all the bitterness of death. Death is not bitter to me; for Jesus is with me; He comforts and sustains me. O God, who hast clothed me with the robe of righteousness, clothe me also with the heavenly robe of joy. Thy righteousness is my righteousness; and I know, that, being justified by faith, I have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that life and salvation are waiting for me yonder. O how gloriously appareled I shall stand before Thee!
