Clothed with his righteousness
"But is not a believer invested, or clothed, with the righteousness of Christ?" Undoubtedly he is. And accordingly the words just recited are the language of every believing heart.
"Jesus, your blood and righteousness, my beauty are, my glorious dress."
That is, for the sake of your active and passive righteousness, I am forgiven and accepted of God.
