282. Holiness unto the Lord

1 Holiness dwells in the temple of God,
Adorning its walls within;
Those who would enter this blessed abode
Must turn from the way of sin.

Refrain:
Holiness, holiness unto the Lord!
Ever in triumph we’ll sing,
Standing secure on the rock of His word—
Holiness unto our King!

2 Holiness reigns in the hearts of the saints,
A welcome, abiding guest,
Giving them freedom from sinful restraints,
Affording supernal rest. [Refrain]

3 Jesus has promised His power of old
To cleanse us from every sin,
Purging the dross and refining the gold,
And taking away the tin. [Refrain]

4 Jesus lived holy while walking below,
The tempter He overcame:
Those who at last into heaven would go
Must live in this world the same. [Refrain]

5 Holiness, holiness unto the Lord!
Is carved on the “horses bells”;
Paradise pure in our hearts is restored
