Dearly Beloved in Christ:
To welcome you to The Holiness Standard,
I have chosen to share the profoundly moving hymn below, which was for many
years one of the beloved and standard anthems of Holiness.
Please meditate upon
the powerful words and remember always: The Power of God is just the same
today! Hallelujah!
HOLINESS UNTO THE
LORD
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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!
–
