Author: Daniel S. Warner Hymnal: Timeless Truths #967 Meter: 9.7.9.7.10.6.10.6 Hymnal Title: Timeless Truths First Line: Jesus has taken my load of sin Refrain First Line: Holy, dear brethren, we must be holy Lyrics: 1 Jesus has taken my load of sin,
Such love no tongue can tell;
Then should I not resign to Him
My life and all my will?
Refrain:
Holy, dear brethren, we must be holy,
Living before the throne;
Self and possessions, all must be truly
Given to God alone.
2 Can I behold the dear Savior’s death,
And yet withhold a part;
Oh, can I draw one selfish breath,
And not give all my heart? [Refrain]
3 Reason and justice, my debt of love,
Demand that I should be:
Body and spirit and all I have
Devoted, Lord, to Thee. [Refrain]
4 We must be holy as He is pure,
For this the Savior died;
Talents and time and all earthly store
To God be sanctified. [Refrain] Scripture: Ephesians 1:4 Tune Title: [Jesus has taken my load of sin]
We Must Be Holy
