Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#319

319. Holiness unto the Lord

1 "Called unto holiness," church of our God,
purchase of Jesus, redeemed by His blood;
called from the world and its idols to flee,
called from the bondage of sin to be free.

Refrain:
"Holiness unto the Lord" is our watchword and song;
"holiness unto the Lord" as we're marching along.
Sing it, shout it, loud and long:
"Holiness unto the Lord" now and forever.

2 "Called unto holiness," children of light,
walking with Jesus in garments of white;
raiment unsullied, nor tarnished with sin;
God's Holy Spirit abiding within. [Refrain]

3 "Called unto holiness," praise His dear name!
This blessed secret to faith now made plain:
not our own righteousness, but Christ within,
living, and reigning, and saving from sin. [Refrain]

4 "Called unto holiness," bride of the Lamb,
waiting the Bridegroom's returning again!
Lift up your heads, for the day draweth near
when in His beauty the King shall appear! [Refrain]
