Representative Text

1 Without holiness no man shall see the Lord,
Thus it is written in His holy word;
Ye must be purified and cleansed from sin
If the courts of heaven you would enter in.

Refrain:
We must be clean,
Pure in His sight,
Cleansed from all sin,
Spotless and white.

2 Without sinful spot your soul indeed must be
If you would dwell with Christ eternally;
None but the pure in heart shall enter rest,
When the books are opened for the final test. [Refrain]

3 Without holiness your life were spent in vain,
Though a profession you may yet maintain;
Naught but the life of Christ within the soul
Will avail to help you reach the final goal. [Refrain]

4 He will surely keep you pure and white within,
Give you dominion over every sin;
But if you still refuse His wondrous grace,
You will flee in terror from before His face. [Refrain]
