Can our aspirations claim,
As the glory in this scripture,
“Be ye holy” through His name?
Refrain:
I am Thine evermore,
Jesus, Savior, I adore.
2 ’Tis a perfect consecration,
That will save us from all sin;
Hear the sounding proclamation,
Be ye, therefore, pure within. [Refrain]
3 Through the great omnific Savior,
All-sufficient grace, we know,
Will sustain us all forever,
Keeping whiter than the snow. [Refrain]
4 In that holy land of blessing,
We’re exalted by our King,
Ever loving and confessing
Him, whose grateful praise we bring. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Peter 1:15-16 Used With Tune: [What so great, so grand, so lovely] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Be_Ye_Holy); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Truth in Song, 1907 (46)
