Holiness to the Lord

Representative Text

1. Come, all ye way worn pilgrims,
And let your songs arise;
The blessed dawn is nearing,
At hand the promised prize;
Let ev'ry lamp be burning,
And shout with one accord,
The watch cry of the faithful,
"Holiness to the Lord!"

Chorus:
Holiness to the Lord!
Holiness to the Lord!
We'll write upon our banners,
Holiness to the Lord!
Holiness to the Lord!
Holiness to the Lord
We'll write upon our banners,
Holiness to the Lord!

2. In Eden's starry mansions,
Will lurk no taint of sin;
The blood-washed, pure and spotless,
Alone can enter in.
We must be true and faithful,
To gain the rich reward,
And sing with all the ransomed,
"Holiness to the Lord!" [Chorus]

3. Oh, let us then be hopeful,
And lift our weary eyes,
Where in the dim horizon,
The gleaming turrets rise;
O home, sweet home in glory!
Awake each tuneful chord,
And sing while morn is breaking,
"Holiness to the Lord!" [Chorus]
