55. Holiness Unto the Lord

1 Holiness unto the Lord, shout it over hill and plain,
Waft it from pole unto pole on the Zephyr’s soft refrain;
Send it across the rolling waves as they stretch from shore to shore,
Holiness unto the Lord must resound for evermore.

Refrain:
Holiness unto the Lord,
Holiness unto the Lord,
Is the song the angels sing,
Is the chorus earth shall ring.
Holiness unto the blessed name,
Than man and angel adore;
Glory be unto the Lord,
Praise His name for evermore.

2 Holiness unto the Lord, nothing else can satisfy,
Pleasures of earth are in vain, riches oft take wings and fly;
But in this valley of woe and care in the midst of right and wrong,
Holiness unto the Lord is our slogan and our song. [Refrain]

3 Holiness unto the Lord, let our banners wave it high,
Have it inscribed on their folds whersoever they may fly;
Teach all the pilgrims of this earth, whether on the land or sea,
Holiness unto the Lord is salvation full and free. [Refrain]

4 Holiness unto the Lord, when from sin we find release,
Holiness unto the Lord, when we learn to follow peace;
Shouting this happy refrain of love—we shall find out by and by,
Holiness unto the Lord is our passport to the sky. [Refrain]
